Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
How Do Dinosaurs Go To School?
Jane Yolen
84/100
👍 Worth It
Kirkus starred reviews are not handed out lightly, and this one earns it — Yolen and Teague have the formula down to a science, using big funny dinosaurs to smuggle in genuine behavioral guidance. The hidden species names in the illustrations give attentive kids something extra to hunt for. Not surprising for fans of the series, but reliably excellent.
