How Do Dinosaurs Say I Love You By Jane Yolen Illustrated by Mark Teague You woke in the morning in such a bad mood… then sat at the table and fussed with your food. But then you blew kisses and waved from the door. I love you, I love you, my dinosaur. Out in the sandpit you threw lots of sand. You ran from the slide, after slapping my hand. But you suddenly turned with a smile I adore. Oh, I’ll always love you, my dinosaur. You moped through your nap time and slept not a wink. You flooded the house when you played in the sink. But you got out the mop and then cleaned up the floor! I love you so much, little dinosaur. Off in the car, you kept kicking my seat… and when we got out, you were dragging your feet. But you held my hand tight when we walked in the store. I’ll love you forever, my dinosaur. Dinner disaster! You made such a mess! Would you stay up past bedtime? The answer was YES! But when you smile sweetly and hold back your roar, when you kiss me and hug me once, twice, even more… …that’s when you give love, and I know this is true, because that’s how a dinosaur says I LOVE YOU!
