Read it, Mommy!: How Do Dinosaurs

I could recite this entire book to you because I have been asked to read it so many times! How does a dinosaur clean up his room? With a big bucketloader, or shovel, or broom? Actually, my two-year-old could probably recite most of this book for you too!

This book is part of a "How Do Dinosaurs..." series written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Mark Teague.

In this book, various kinds of dinosaurs demonstrate how to (or how not to) pick up their toys and clean up their rooms. The book has a great rhythm and is fun to read aloud. The illustrations are hilarious and have a retro feel to them.

This book was on sale at Kohl's a while back and I seriously regret that I didn't buy it then. I think that the dinosaurs hold a great appeal for kids, especially little boys. Plus they model behaviors that you want your kids to learn.

There are many other books in this series. Here are some of the bookfonts:

I'm not quite sure exactly how many of these books there are now. Has anyone read any of these books? I would be interested to know if there are some that you absolutely love, or do not like at all. I'll have to keep my eye out for a set of these "di-so-saur" books for my little boys.
