(2) PS Illustrated by Mark Teague. Those overgrown children from How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight? here teach a lesson in how to comport oneself when sick. The humor comes from the placement of hulking dinosaurs into ordinary, kid-size environments. Concerned human parents look on as their offspring, at first, seem like beasts but really are model patients. So, young dinosaurs, get lots of rest, follow doctor's orders, and maybe you won't become extinct.
