How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You

Story was only O.K, from what I could actually read. I can't really give valid review because I received my book with several key pages ripped out, 7 pages were ripped out which I don't understand because the copy I chose said (Very Good) was a bit sad too because this was a present to somebody VERY special to me.

A Great Series

My 4 yr old son loves the How Do Dinosaurs... series. We have some of the board books like How Do Dinosaurs Count To Ten?, and some of the other hardcovers, such as How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? and How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?. How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? explains to children that their parents love them all the time, even when they are naughty or moody. Usually the books in this series contrast bad behavior with good behavior, and end on a postive note. Not only are they entertaining, but if you look closely at the illustrations, the names of the dinosaurs are included on each page, adding to the educational value of each book. I added this one to my son's collection because I wanted him to realize that a good parent loves their child unconditionally, no one is perfect, and everyone has had a bad day. He also has a huge interest in anything to do with dinosaurs. If your child loves these books, and would like something a little more serious, check out DK First Dinosaur Encyclopedia.

Lovingly Wonderful Love

As with the other Jane Yolan and Mark Teague Dinosaur books, How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? is just as much fun! 3 year old Grandson loves dinosaurs and all of these books. He loves to talk about the pictures. A great big dinosaur hug to Jane and Mark for another hit!

More Dinosaurs to Love

When I first read the book, I was not sure about it, since it has some very naughty dinosaurs in it. However, as the other reviewers have said, it is important for a child to know that you're loved even if you don't behave perfectly all the time. As usual, the art is wonderful. My son is only a year old and loves books, period. The dinosaur series has become one of his favorites and we read each one of the four we currently have each night before bed (soon to be 7, birthday is Friday). I know that he will continue to love this series as he gets older and gains an understanding of the message behind the rhymes. I'm also looking forward to the upcoming releases about Dinosaurs loving their pets.

Another great dinosaur book from a dynamic author-illustrator team

This author-illustrator team does such an awesome job of delivering the message that no matter what a child does, he's still very loved. I have such a naughty dinosaur at home myself and this book will please him to no end because he absolutely LOVES it when I appreciate his hugs and kisses. He will certainly identify with the dinosaurs in this tale and I will love sharing this story at bedtime. Needless to say, the illustrations are splendid--I love how the dinosaurs portray the many moods and expressions of children from fussing to 'dragging their feet'--funny! If you've read any of the other dinosaur books by this dynamic duo you will definitely love this one.

Another great "How do Dinosaurs..." book!

I love this book! And so does my daughter :) This is our 5th in the How Do Dinosaurs series and it's a little different than the others in that the dinosaur really does misbehave a few times, but then is sorry and loving with hugs and kisses to the mom and dad and they say how much they love their dinosaur. I think we read it 3 times the first day we got it! And we're still reading it! It reminds me a little of the No David! books in that the child misbehaves, but is sorry and the parents while not approving of the behavior still love the child. Great job Yolen & Teague!
