How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? Written by Jane Yolen and Illustrated by Mark Teague

Since so many children are sick this time of year, I thought that a book that shows the adorable dinosaurs from the "How Do Dinosaurs" series would be a good choice. How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon? is an easy-to-read book with funny rhymes and hilarious pictures. The dinosaurs are shown in the common scenarios of sickness - going to the doctor, having to take medicine, taking their temperature, and more. The beginning of the book shows the dinosaurs spitting out their medicine and throwing their tissues on the floor but by the end, they are all making better choices because it will help them get well soon.

Somewhere in each picture is the name of the dinosaur. Kids love the seeking out the name and trying to pronounce it. It is also fun to guess the emotion of each human and dinosaur by looking at the wonderfully illustrated pages. This book can be as simple or complex as you want to make which makes it fun for all ages whether they are sick or not.
