Review

This new addition to the How Do Dinosaurs? series is a good lesson in how to be a friend. It starts with a dinosaur fight and all of the wrong things to do to make up. Halfway through, it turns to how to be a friend. As in the other books in the series, dinosaurs are all identified. The illustrations are colorful and attractive. The expressions on the dinosaurs faces are funny and wonderful. The examples of how not to be, then how to be a friend can spark conversation with young children about how their relationships with their own friends. Fans of the series will enjoy this new addition.

Overall Book Score: good
