--PEOPLE MAGAZINE, The affable dinos in this adorable rhyming story have perfect manners; they always brush their teeth, use their napkins and help with the dishes. --LIBRARY TALK, December 1993 Silliness takes over completely in When Dinosaurs Go Visiting ($11.95 hc., 32pp.), which shows dinosaur families wearing clothes, living in houses, driving cars and taking along their favorite recipe (omnivore souffle) when they go to a party. --PUBLISHER'S WEEKLY, September 1993 Combining the ever-popular dinosaur motif with a lesson on etiquette, debut author Martin imagines several of the prehistoric lizards in a contemporary human setting. Here, a suburban dino family dresses in snappy clothes, hops in the convertible and goes to spend a day with friends. Careful observers of modern manners, the reptiles thoughtfully bring a covered dish (omnivore souffle) and help wash the dishes after the main meal. Run-of-the-mill rhymes ("Their friends are glad to see them. / It's a very happy scene, / A house that's full of dinosaurs / So bright and shiny green") accompany Martin's harmlessly cute cartoons, which depict a biologically unlikely family of a father stegosaurus, a mother tyrannosaurus and their triceratops son. Even peripheral dinophiles may challenge such inaccuracies as the cheerful coexistence of a brontosaurus and a same-size pterodactyl; nevertheless, role-playing dino-wannabes may pick up some pointers on politeness from Martin's fossil-age family. Ages 2-6. The affable dinos in this adorable rhyming story have perfect manners...People

Reseña del editor:

When dinosaurs go visiting, they wear their nicest clothes. Their nicest shoes, their nicest shirts, their nicest pair of hose. This rollicking, rhyming verse describes a colorful cast of dancing dinos whose favorite activity is socializing. The hilarious story perfectly matches the whimsy of the illustrations, as a familiar event is brought to life in this playful picture book. A delightful read-along treat, it's perfect for storytime at home or amusement on the road.
