Pig is a pug that has everything he could ever want yet refuses to share with his friend Trevor. Pig soon learns that being greedy has its consequences. Join Pig as he learns the lesson of sharing with others. There was an old lady who swallowed a truck. I don’t know why she swallowed a truck. You won’t believe why the Old Lady swallowed a truck, a tire, a chain, some wood, some metal, some tools, and some screws! This laugh-out-loud companion to The Very Impatient Caterpillar and The Little Butterfly That Could is perfect for bedtime! Readers will laugh as they learn to find their inner calm and settle for sleep—even when they wake in the night. Three children meet Stillwater, a giant panda who tells amazing tales, when he shows up in their backyard. With graceful art and simple stories, Jon J Muth presents three ancient Zen tales to Addy, Michael, and Karl. A soft plush lion finger puppet pokes through to become a character on every spread in this interactive board book. With sweet, bright illustrations, this book will have readers of all ages entertained all day long.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

"How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light? Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about? Does a dinosaur stomp his feet on the floor and shout: 'I want to hear one book more!'? DOES A DINOSAUR ROAR?" Most certainly not. Dinosaurs give their mommies and daddies big hugs and kisses, tuck their tales in, and whisper "Good night!"

Every sleepy little dinosaur will recognize the tricks of the trade in these bedtime shenanigans. The chuckle factor is sky-high here, with giant, full-page pictures of cleverly identified Tyrannosaurus rexes, triceratopses, and Pteranodons. A variety of human mothers and fathers trying to put their dinosaur children to bed will bring the point home that the story may have something to do with human kid behavior as well. This good-natured nighttime book is sure to be a winner (even though it might inspire a few noisy dinosaur antics), especially as it's written by Jane Yolen, prolific Caldecott Medalist author of Owl Moon. Yolen and Mark Teague have teamed up to create a fun, silly, playful read-aloud. (Ages 3 to 7) --Emilie Coulter

From Publishers Weekly

Set to a lilting bedtime beat, this rollicking rumpus of a tale ups the humor ante in a familiar scenario by substituting dinosaurs for children: "How does a dinosaur say good night when Papa comes in to turn off the light?" In a series of snappy lines, Yolen (Off We Go!, reviewed above; Queen's Own Fool, reviewed below) highlights a variety of postponement antics, some familiar (moping, sulking and demanding "one book more!"), some of a distinctly dinosaur variety--"Does a dinosaur slam his tail and pout? Does he throw his teddy bear all about?" Teague makes hay with the text, and as always his illustrations are a flurry of sly madcap inspiration. He chooses the winged Pteranodon (spelled out in ABC blocks on the bedroom floor) as the character who throws his teddy bear while flying about the room; for "Does he swing his neck from side to side" it's the snake-headed Apatosaurus who does the swinging. Under his sure direction, the sight gag never grows stale, and the sight of a T-Rex puckering up for a kiss, or an enormous Stegosaurus crammed into a tiny bed and daintily turning off the light switch with the tip of his tail, is sure to elicit giggles. As the endpapers reveal, there's a cast of 10 dinosaurs featured here, and sharp eyes will enjoy spotting their proper names tucked into each illustration. This rib-tickling bedtime fare packs plenty of appeal. Ages 2-up. (Apr.)

Great bedtime story
5 Stars
Great bedtime story
Simple, wonderful book for bedtime rituals. Both my almost four year old daughter and almost 2 year old son love it. My daughter especially can relate having done almost all of the things that good little dinosaurs​ don't do. We have a nice laugh about it every time I read it her. It's my son's favorite-I'm not allowed to skip this one at night.

Seriously the cutest bedtime story! Bought as a gift for a family member’s newborn baby! I will be buying her the whole series for her new baby boy because I love the book so much! She and her husband absolutely loved it too, so did my mom, dad, and 3 other people I showed it to before sending it.
The story is silly and sweet is a very easy read, but not boring or just a picture book.
The illustrations are beautiful and so detailed that every time you read it you find new, cute details in the pictures.

Purchased for my granddaughters aged 4 and 7. Greatly appeal to both, very good illustrations, bright colors, and absurd situations that left them laughing and asking to have them read over and over. The 7 year old now reads them to her younger sister.

A hit with my three year old! And at the end, when the dinosaurs are behaving well, like, gave a kiss, turned off the light, gave one kiss more... My daughter and I act out those scenes in real life and it works well to help bedtime go smoothly.
