Book Review: Little Dinos Don't Bite


               by Michael Dahl
                Capstone Young Reader
                Pub Date:  Feb 1 2013
Outlet:   Capstone Young Readers
Synopsis:
                Don’t bite!  This book gives the young person several reasons not to bite. The author also provides specific examples of what not to bite.  The examples include both people and objects. Once this has been established, Mr. Dahl provides specific examples of what to bite.
Reflection:
                This is a good book to read to youngsters when their teeth are coming in, in order to show why they should not bite. In addition, the book provides a good book to use as a teaching point for preschool and primary age children.
                This book provides an excellent format for a teacher to use to introduce backward counting. The colors are beautiful, the dinosaurs are well drawn and the text is can be easily explained.  The theme of dinosaurs is excellent because children love dinosaurs.
Would I purchase this Book?
                I  would purchase this book to help children learn why they should not bite. In addition to providing a great point, the book is visually appealing. The text captures the illustration and keeps the child's attention.
