Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodbye?:

Fans of any of the previous entries will rejoice at this new addition, which uses exaggeration and humor to help children acknowledge and deal with their dinosaur-sized emotions. — School Library Journal

Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Choose Their Pets?:

Yolen's rhymes are jaunty, and, as always, Teague has a field day. His illustrations highlight the unbridled joy these vibrantly colored, lesser-known species of dinos... have playing with a variety of creatures. — Kirkus Reviews

Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Stay Friends?:

The 10th dinosaur outing for Yolen and Teague playfully addresses the minefield of school friendships, as always cleverly subbing in outsized dinosaur antics for the gigantic feelings in every little kid's body... who can resist when dinosaur buddies share a sincere, well-earned hug? Kirkus Reviews

Praise for How Do Dinosaurs Stay Safe?:

This beloved series hit the ground running, and it's still going strong. — Booklist

As in previous outings, Teague's artwork steals the show, the realism of the scenes and human figures juxtaposed with the giant, though childish, dinos. Labels in the illustrations and endpapers will help dino mavens identify their favorites. Don'ts and Do's in a familiar formula go down easily for fans and will provide a good conversation starter for parents. — Kirkus Reviews
