Following up their bestseller How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, Caldecott Medal winner Jane Yolen and illustrator Mark Teague have penned this instructive lesson on dinosaur health care. Each double-page spread features one enormous dinosaur looking wan and sniffly but mostly cranky, petulant, ornery, sullen, and disagreeable. The human moms and dads are visibly worried and/or frustrated by their sick dinos behaving badly. Witness the nice lady dragging her gigantic Styracosaurus out of the elevator and across the hall to the doctor's office: "What if a dinosaur goes to the doc? Does he drag all his feet till his mom is in shock?" The look on this mom's face will be familiar to anyone who's ever forcibly moved a child, who seems to have suddenly gained a million pounds, from one place to another. And of course, it turns out that dinosaurs don't misbehave when they're sick: "He drinks lots of juice, and he gets lots of rest. He's good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best."The rhymes are somewhat forced, especially toward the end of the book, but Teague's marvelous paintings are bright and expressive throughout. Each dinosaur is cleverly labeled, and these aren't your run-of-the-mill dinos; dinosaur-obsessed little ones will crow over Parasaurolophus, Euoplocephalus, and Tuojiangosaurus. They'll also learn a little something about how to behave when they're sick. --Jennifer Lindsay
Product Description
What if a dinosaur catches the flu?Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?Does he fling his medicine out of the door? Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best. As in their previous book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures.

 Great addition to the series May 20, 2008
I love this book in the series. Fortunately I haven't had the opportunity to read it to my son while he is sick! This one is just as good as Food & Goodnight.
 I got a stuffed animal instead of a book! February 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I ordered a number of "How does a Dinosaur" books and my 3-year old girl loves them. This book, however, did not arrive. I got a stuffed dinosaur (a character from the book) with a "How do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon" tag on it, but no book. My daughter really likes the stuffed dinosaur and I see that the book is now listed as out of stock. A well-liked gift for my daughter either way.
Great February 19, 2008
I love these books. Everyone of the books in the series have met mine and my child's expectations. Of course being a boy he loves the dinosaurs and as I the mom, I love the values, manners and morals they teach.
A Take Along Book October 5, 2007
My husband and I have been reading to our two-year-old son since birth. He, however, has shown little to no interest in books. That is until we picked up How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon. We have all the How Do Dinosaur books, but our son fell under the spell of this one. I have to say I love it too. Simple rhymes and brilliant and colorful illustrations have made this the book my son carries everywhere. It even accompanied us to the doctor for a check-up! My little one loves to "Atchoo!" and say bless you after reading this book and I never get tired of hearing it either. I would recommend any of Jane Yolen and Mark Teague's books for their brief rhyming language and awesome illustrations.
 Does your doctor fear the Doctors? July 22, 2007
My daughter HATES going to the Dr. For any parent I advise getting a toy medical kit, and this book. We were introduced to the Dinosaurs in "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" and we fell in love. My husband reads it to her every night before bed. After she was in love with the "Diyos"(her word for Dino's), "How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?" was a no brainer.
