How do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? By Jane Yolen

This book is very similar to How Do Dinosaurs Go to School? The set up of the book is the same, but what is different is that there is a moral lesson taught. This book addresses the idea of love and how it is unconditional. These dinosaurs do some bad things, for example threw sand out of the sandbox and flooded the house when played in the sink. Even though the dinosaurs did all these things, they were still told that they were loved. I think that is a great message to send to kids. It is important for children to know that even if they make mistakes they are still cared about. Love is something that everyone should have in their lifetime and learning about how it is unconditional at a young age is important. I think that this book would be better suited for an at home read, but is still appropriate for school. I think that the book would be best for younger readers, approximately first and second grade. The story can also be told through the illustrations, for they are very detailed and go hand in hand with the story line.
