When You Take a Dinosaur to Dinner

What happens when dinosaurs come to dinner?

Jimmie quickly learns that inviting dinosaurs to a restaurant may lead to stomping, chair-wiggling, flying forks, spilled food, loud roars, and one very tired waiter.

With Jimmie’s gentle help, the dinosaurs begin learning how a true MANNERsaurus behaves.

  • Saying “please” and “thank you”
  • Waiting patiently and using an inside voice
  • Sitting safely and respecting personal space
  • Passing food politely and helping clean up
