Dinner for Dinos
Illustrated by Ben Whitehouse
I can't find an author listed anywhere.
This is a rhyming book, (which ups my opinion of it by about 5 points to start with, if we're grading on a scale of 1 to 10) about a couple of dinos who are putting together a picnic.
They go shopping first and one complains that he doesn't eat mushy food and for sure not green food. Then another dino counters with how his mom says green food will help him to grow big and strong. Back home, they cook the meal together and then set the table in the proper manner with spoons on the right and forks on the left. They thank God for their food and then dig in. Everyone eats politely, no one even burps.
It's a cute story about eating veggies and being mannerly at the table. The message is subtle, it's not preachy, but it's cute.
The illustrations are soft, and not totally life like, but still cute and colorful. You can tell they are dinos.
It would make a fun book if you are trying to teach your toddler or preschooler how to eat nicely at the table. It is a board book, so it would also be safe for your young child as well. It's about an 8x8 size with a nice thick cover. It's definitely the kind of book I would love to fill my bookshelf with, though I would gear it to the younger set of children, more ages 1 to 3 or so.
I received this book from Book Look Bloggers and was not required to write a positive review.
