Running along accustomed tracks, the latest in this long-running series opens with a set of rhymed rhetorical questions--"How does a dinosaur / learn to be kind? // Does he roar / about everything / that's on his mind? // Does he ride his bike fast, / making other bikes fall? / Does he then turn around / and just laugh at them all?"--and then switches midcourse with a big "NO!!!" to take a prescriptive tack: "A dinosaur knows / how to be very kind, / and always keeps other / folks firmly in mind." Teague as usual supplies a cast of specifically identified but wildly outsized and dramatically patterned dinosaurs modeling both mischievous and proper behavior with a multiracial and multigenerational cast of diminutive humans. By specifically highlighting the good feelings that consideration for others brings, this outing sets itself apart, if only by a hair, from previous entries with the same drift, such as How Do Dinosaurs Show Good Manners? (2020), How Do Dinosaurs Play With Their Friends? (2006), and so on. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Evergreen of message, for all its formulaic presentation being set in stone.
