When Dinosaurs Go Visiting

by Linda Martin

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.

This clever book is really more about visiting than it is about dinosaurs. Martin uses a rhymed verse and dinosaur characters to remind readers what good behaviors are before, during and after a journey to visit with others. Lots of good reminders about good manners and things to do to be a good visitor and guest.

Cute book.
Curious if the mixed species families was intentional or they just illustrated them as different dinosaurs for variety.

This is a story that tells of a family of dinosaurs that go visiting the rest of their family for a special occasion. They get read in their best and help oine another out as a family to be on their way looking their best. They eat politely and use their manners.

Good to teach life skills. Good to use for kids before a break (Winter/ Thanksgiving/ Summer)

One of the many books I have memorized. Still as cute and fun as the first time we read it.

Dinosaurs use their best manners when they visit someone else's house. Great for rhyming words and for proper etiquette.
