Book Reviews of How Do Dinosaurs Clean Their Rooms?
Book Review: Great Way to Suggest Kids Clean Up the Nest
Summary: 5 Stars
HOW DO DINOSAURS CLEAN THEIR ROOMS is a deligtful way to introduce the very young child to some of the tasks involved in keeping their rooms neat. In a simple question and answer format, the book asks the child if a dinosaur handles clutter inappropriately. The answer is no. A dinosaur does his chores and puts clutter in the waste basket or the hamper. The subtle approach guides the young dinosaur lover to imitate his or her hero, before Mom or Dad have to ask him or her to do it. HOW DO DINOSAURS CLEAN THEIR ROOMS? also appeals to a child's sense of fantasy by letting the child be a dinosaur and Mom and Dad be human. Mom and Dad approve of the dinosaur's actions in the background, giving the dinosaur/child the choice to clean the room, and the feeling of accomplishment that a task well done brings. It also suggests that people appreciate the tasks a child might do by ending with the lines "Thank you. Thank you, Little Dinosaur."
The cartoonish and playful illustrations still accurately represent various kinds of dinosaurs. Kids will probably be able to inform the adults whick kids are which. That adds to the fun.
HOW DO DINOSAURS CLEAN THEIR ROOMS is a great tool for getting kids to clean. It is also sturdy enough to take rough handling, and small enough for a tot to hold by him or herself.
This one's a winner.
