Sierra, Judy. Bowers, Tim. Suppose You Meet a Dinosaur: A First Book of Manners, Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2012. $16.99. Inside cover: “In this fantasy, a well-mannered little girl and an equally well-mannered dinosaur know all the right words, like “please” and “thank you” and “excuse me.” With its humorous text that’s ideal for reading aloud, the incomparable Judy Sierra’s rhyming romp will make any young child enjoy learning- and using- his or her manners.” This is one of the best rhyming books I have read. The author nailed it perfectly. The story is a perfect read-aloud and would be great for any unit on manners. One warning: There is mention of the little girl needing to use the bathroom and the text says, “You have to pee!” This might cause some raised eyes in adults or giggles in your students. The illustrations are bold and bright. We enjoyed this picture book! Pre-K. EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
