I loved this book!! I didn't understand the beginning because the title says "How do Dinosaurs STAY SAFE" and they started by talking about things that didn't really keep them safe, but about halfway through they transitioned to things that help keep them safe. This is such a fun and entertaining way to teach kids to listen to Mom and Dad about the basics in order for them to stay out of harm's way! Will definitely be reading this to my children! ( )

While Mark Teague's illustrations remain wonderful, this series is getting old and a little too didactic to remain endearing.

Safety tips (dos and don'ts), dinosaur-style. "Stay safe, and PLAY safe, little dinosaur." ( )

How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe? is a book that focuses on a handful of safety topics that are applicable to children (wearing a helmet while riding a bike, running with scissors, climbing on furniture, etc). The illustrations are colorful, silly and clearly demonstrate all of the wrong things to do, and children LOVE to correct them. This is a great read aloud. The vocabulary is simple and short enough to read multiple times. How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe? would be a great conversation starter for home safety. Activities could include kids thinking of additional safety tips, inferring, or discussing synonyms/antonyms. ( )

discusses all the different things that dinosaurs shouldn't do to be safe and then all the things that dinosaurs should do to stay safe.
fun colorful book
