Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur: A First Book of Manners by Judy Sierra with illustrations by Tim Bowers, walks you through exactly what to do if you happen to meet a dinosaur while shopping at the grocery store. This manners book is a series of cute rhyming questions like: “Your shopping cart begins to spin. It dings the dino on the shin. She roars a terrifying roar. What do you tell the dinosaur?” With the answer displayed simply on the next page: “I’m sorry.” This cute little book teaches, through various scenarios involving a dinosaur in the grocery store: introducing yourself and saying goodbye and using phrases like: Please, Thank You, You’re Welcome, Excuse Me, I’m Sorry, Yes Please, and No Thank You.
The way the book is written lends itself to an interactive read-aloud setting- with small children learning and providing the correct answers to the simple questions. The cute (and funny-check out the baffled family of shoppers on the back cover) illustrations are fun and engaging, with each scenario clearly depicted. This is a great first-time or in-need-of-a-refresher-course learning manners picture book. It will be available January 10!
