Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur: A First Book of Manners




A charming first book of manners from New York Times bestseller Judy Sierra, now in an affordable new format!

A little girl is shopping in a grocery store when—surprise!—she meets a dinosaur. Don't worry. The dinosaur is very friendly. She's polite, too. In this funny story, told in lilting read-aloud rhyme, the girl has numerous opportunities to be helpful to the clumsy shopping dino and demonstrate when to say "thank you," "excuse me," "I'm sorry," "You're welcome," and other niceties of life. Tim Bowers's whimsical illustrations bring an extra dimension of fun to Judy Sierra's hilarious picture book fantasy. Altogether, Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur is an entertaining and painless way to show preschoolers why basic manners are a good thing to have.

Praise for Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur: A First Book of Manners

"There's lots of physical comedy on display in Bowers's acrylic paintings...which, along with Sierra's characteristically sturdy verse, helps the gentle message about manners go down smoothly."--Publishers Weekly
