About this book

Enjoy a classic, bestselling How Do Dinosaurs story about how dinosaurs behave at mealtime... now in board book format! 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?
