Color Me a Rhyme Nature Poems for Young People Jane Yolen Jason Stemple Books Reviews

• We LOVE the How Do Dinosaurs book, but this one does not follow suit. I read it and quickly returned it. Whereas the other 5 Dinosaur books we own walk through a few bad behaviors and directly say "No, a dinosaur doesn't... " then proceeds to list proper behavior for the given scenario, this book does not. I was excited for How do Dinosaurs Say I love You? because my son loves giving hugs and I knew he would love the cover before even opening the book! This book shares how the kid /dinosaur was a complete brat, but because he gives "an adorable smile" or "blows a kiss", then his bratty behavior is ok? It doesn't even say "No, I dinosaur doesn't do this or that", it just glazes over that. Not at all what I was expecting. Bummer.
• This super fun series of books are sure to please all the dino lovers out there! My dino loving 4.5yr old can't get enough dinosaur books and I can't get enough of the creatively illustrated stories in this series as you journey through typical toddler and preschool behaviors with boundry testing, mood swinging picky"fun" (humorously illustrated) and still the undeniable love between parent and child. Great books to have in your little readers library!
• Gah! My son and I love reading these books and this one is no exception! The story goes through different parts of a "dinosaur's" (aka your child) day and the things that they did that upset their parents. And after each thing it tells something sweet that the "dinosaur" did that made its parents happy and showed love.
  This book is so sweet and always brings a smile to my face. My son, who doesn't quite get the symbolism, loves the dinosaurs and that each picture tells you what type of dinosaur it is. I guess there is something in it for both of us!
• I love this book, but Track 1 (with turn the page signals) doesn't work. The CD was made in a foreign country (although the English is flawless) which may have affected the quality. I was able to rip track 1 to a laptop, then kids could listen to it, but even then there were scratch sounds throughout the first few pages. I would NOT recommend buying this set.
• A fascinating book to showcase to children the great mystery of the ship Mary Celeste. Beautiful vibrant drawings and awesomely told to express the unknown reality, the truths and the situations that make this old tale create itself over time, as one of the great unsolved realities of the sea. Perfect for children. A great history lesson for show and tale, or story time. It explores Mary Celeste in an easy tale so that children can follow along and be amazed with. Loved the conclusion of it going over all the weird theories of how, or what happened to the crew. It explores all the popular tales of just what took place. A wonderfully drawn, told tale of this great unsolved mystery that will never be forgotten by time. Highly recommend for kids and even adults, because I really enjoyed it while reading it to Godson. Fascinating in every way.
• My 4 yr old son loves the How Do Dinosaurs... series. We have some of the board books like How Do Dinosaurs Count To Ten?, and some of the other hardcovers, such as How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? and How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food?.
  
  How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You? explains to children that their parents love them all the time, even when they are naughty or moody. Usually the books in this series contrast bad behavior with good behavior, and end on a postive note. Not only are they entertaining, but if you look closely at the illustrations, the names of the dinosaurs are included on each page, adding to the educational value of each book.
  
  I added this one to my son's collection because I wanted him to realize that a good parent loves their child unconditionally, no one is perfect, and everyone has had a bad day. He also has a huge interest in anything to do with dinosaurs.
  
  If your child loves these books, and would like something a little more serious, check out DK First Dinosaur Encyclopedia.
• In a day and age where some children do not always have the advantage of being taught etiquette, I find these books to be such a positive way to teach children kindness and manners. They have a sense of humor that both adults and children can enjoy and learn a positive message about so many different things. You cannot buy manners, you either have them or you don't. Kindness, respect, please and thank you can mean so much for any little thing in life and enrich your life at the same time. I love to give these books as presents because the provide a positive message on sometimes difficult things to express to any one at any age.
• I had this book as a kid and always loved the way the story was presented from the view of a native Tainu boy and didn’t praise Columbus. As a woman of Native American ancestry, I applaud this telling of the real “discovery” of indigenous people.
