Description

Little Dino, a small dinosaur with a brand-new set of teeth, thinks everything is a snack to bite. When his playful nibbling scares his friends, he learns that biting is only acceptable when it's food, not people or objects. The short, easy-to-read story uses simple sentences and bright pictures to show young children why it's important to keep their mouths gentle.

Quick Summary

Perfect for kids who are just starting to read on their own, Little Dinos Don't Bite packs a simple lesson about keeping teeth to yourself into a fast-paced, 60-word story that's easy to finish in one sitting. The little dino's goofy antics and the bright, cartoon-style pictures make the message feel more like a joke than a lecture, so even picky readers will stay amused. It's especially good for dinosaur fans who love a bit of silliness, and it works well as a read-aloud for parents who want to start conversations about manners without being preachy. There's nothing scary here just a playful reminder that biting isn't the best way to solve problems, and the book's short length means you can squeeze it into a bedtime routine without a fuss. If you enjoy the gentle humor and easy vocabulary of books like Jane Yolen's How Do Dinosaurs... series, you'll find this little dino adventure just as delightful.
