Bookroo's summary

Dinosaurs face the ultimate challenge: mealtime manners. Will they burp and belch, or can they learn to eat with grace? With a little guidance from Mom and Dad, these young dinosaurs might just surprise everyone. Discover if they can turn chaos into smiles and goodwill at the table in this playful tale.

"How does a dinosaur eat his food? Does he burp, does he belch, or make noises quite rude?"

— from the book

From the publisher

How does a dinosaur eat all his food?

Does he burp, does he belch, or make noises quite rude?

Does he pick at his cereal, throw down his cup,

hoping to make someone else pick it up?

Just like kids, dinosaurs have a difficult time learning to behave at the table. However, with a little help from Mom and Dad, these young dinosaurs eat all before them with smiles and goodwill.
