How Do Dinosaurs Go to School? by Jane Yolen
I was drawn to the book because the title had to do with school. The big yellow dinosaur stands out among the background compliment color purple, catches the audiences eyes. Because the title is a question, I was intrigued to read on to find out with the answer was. The text is very large in size so that it can be read by a younger reader. The dinosaurs are painted in bright colors and do not look scary. I liked how the dinosaurs have humanistic qualities to them, making it easy for a young reader to connect with the dinosaurs. In the beginning of the book, it had situations where the dinosaur would not behave, but in the end it shows that the dinosaur can behave and be helpful. I liked how the dinosaurs are labeled discretely so that someone interested in learning different dinosaurs would be interested in this book. I think that this book would be a good idea to have in a classroom. Both boys and girls could seek enjoyment in reading this picture book, especially those who like animals.
