"The bestselling, award-winning team of Yolen and Teague are back with another playful dinosaur tale, this time about a sick dinosaur child who catches the flu and must go to the doctor.
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." -- Scholastic, Inc.

Genre: modern fantasy/poetry
The book is very simplistic but it gets the point that kids need to do these things in order to get well. It shows that things one has to do when they are sick have to be done. Even if they may seem scary or be new. Using dinosaurs is a fun idea. Great lively illustrations that complement the text. It is interesting and I will use it for lower elementary. ( )

This book addresses the implications that one might make about the bad behaviors that a dinosaur would have if one were to be sick and have to go to the doctor. The book explains that dinosaurs are well behaved and that is why they get well from their sickness. ( )

This is a good example of fantasy because dinosaurs do not actually get sick and go to the doctor like children. ( )
