From crossing the street with Mama to encountering a stranger, the playful but careful antics of America’s favorite dinosaurs will make readers laugh aloud – and prompt discussion of safety issues.Few things in childhood are as important as learning how to behave safely, and the topic deserves discussion in every family. Now Jane Yolen and Mark Teague deftly approach this critical subject with warmth, humor, and hilarity.The wildly funny contrast between Teague’s massive dinosaur children and their human-sized surroundings makes this subject especially appealing and funny. Where a book about safety for children might be potentially frightening, the antics of immense dinosaurs jumping on the bed or learning how to dial 9-1-1 on Mama’s tiny phone will keep readers laughing from start to finish.Parents, children, teachers, and other caregivers need a comfortable way to discuss safety, and this book provides just that. And as children learn invaluable rules about safe behavior, they’ll beg to read it again and again for the wildly appealing silliness on each page. Here is a book that belongs in every household!
