Publisher's Note What if a dinosaur catches the flu?Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?Does he fling his medicine out of the door?Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.As in their previous book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures.
Industry Reviews "This salutary combination of savvy advice and sidesplitting art belongs next to every sickbed." Kirkus Reviews (12/01/2002)
"Teague's droll artwork heightens the humor of Yolen's light verse....For dinosaur fans of all ages, this inspired silliness is just what the doctor ordered." Publishers Weekly (12/23/2002)
"[T]he verse is simple yet sprightly, touching on some realistic aspects of kid life and leaving the illustrations to make the most of the comically charged situation....Even non-dinophiles will find this adds some cheerful absurdity to the sickroom." Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books - Deborah Stevenson (04/01/2003)
