A group of rowdy dinosaurs learn how to share, play, and more in this beginning reader, now in Spanish!
A Bank Street Best Children's Picture Book of the Year in Spanish
Dinosaurs don't just take, take, take; dinosaurs do share. When they are mad, they don't hit or bite; instead they use words to express their feelings. They shout and run outdoors; they don't shout at a wedding or run in the china shop. Illustrating this book with funny pictures of dinosaurs, Steve Björkman helps young children learn the benefits of being considerate toward others and the secret to making friends.
