How Do
Dinosaurs Eat Their Food? blends a child’s curiosity and interest in dinosaurs and the parental desire to teach table
manners. The story starts out showing colourful illustrations of various types of
dinosaurs as they are in the act of eating in ill-mannered ways. The caption below asks if the dinosaur ate this way. For instance, “does he bubble his milk?” At the end of the story, the child gets an answer that dinosaurs always ate with the best of
manners. Though definitely not realistic in it’s depiction of how dinosaurs really ate, this book is fun. It also allows parents to reinforce table manners in a new less openly nagging way. This book also includes a cute little mini rendition of the same story for kids to carry in their pocket or to read along with.
