Series: How Do Dinosaurs...?
My nephew pulled this off the library shelf, which I thought was ironic since he spent two days in the hospital last week. Maybe it's because he is so fresh off of that horrible and scary experience, but neither he nor I liked this book. When you're a sick kid you don't need an etiquette lesson. ...
the combination of text and art is so good I can't stand it. I love petulant dinos, apparently.
