Editorial Reviews

Product Description
How does a dinosaur eat all his food?

Does he burp, does he belch, or make noises quite rude?

Does he pick at his cereal, throw down his cup,

hoping to make someone else pick it up?

Just like kids, dinosaurs have a difficult time learning to behave at the table. However, with a little help from Mom and Dad, these young dinosaurs eat all before them with smiles and goodwill.

As in their previous books, Yolen and Teague capture children's rambunctious natures with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures.

Spanish title: Como comen los dinosaurios?

Que hace un dinosaurio durante la comida? Eructa, hace ruidos y groserias?Tira el cereal y la taza arroja y espera que alguien luego la recoja? Al igual que los chicos, los dinosaurios tardan en aprender a comportarse en la mesa. Sin embargo, con la ayuda de papa y mama, estos pequenos dinosaurios llegan a comer todo con una sonrisa y buena disposicion. Como en sus libros anteriores, Yolen y Teague recrean la tendencia natural al desorden de los chicos mediante rimas juguetonas y dibujos muy divertidos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Spanish translation of a fun tale!, February 6, 2007

By	Rosemary Ros (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

All too often, children's books that have been translated into Spanish lose the charm of the original story; the translators seem to be more concerned with translating literally rather than capturing the "spirit" of the story (and the all so important rhyme). Happily, this is NOT the case in, "Como Comen los Dinosaurios". It is fun to read and sure to be enjoyed by your novice Spanish reader.

For those interested in other Spanish children's books, I heartily recommend "Huevos Verdes con Jamon", the Spanish version of Dr Seuss' classic "Green Eggs and Ham", which keeps true to the "rhythm" of the original.
