Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe?

"This beloved series hit the ground running, and it's still going strong." --Booklist

"As in previous outings, Teague's artwork steals the show, the realism of the scenes and human figures juxtaposed with the giant, though childish, dinos. Labels in the illustrations and endpapers will help dino mavens identify their favorites. Don'ts and Do's in a familiar formula go down easily for fans and will provide a good conversation starter for parents." --Kirkus Reviews


Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Say I'M MAD?

"Yolen understands the value of the book beyond its surface entertainments, offering a note about the realities of anger and the value of apology.

A solid, welcome addition to the series." --Booklist
