Illustrated by
Mark Teague.
This volume's bold-hued, larger-than-life prehistoric creatures humorously model how not to behave while pet-seeking: "Does she drag a huge elephant / back in a wagon / with both its long trunk / and its wee tail / a-dragging?" Then they do the right thing: "No...a dinosaur doesn't... / He goes to a shelter or pet store or farm / to find a small creature / who will do no harm."
