Illustrated by
Jason Gillard.
Asking the reader leading questions ("When doing math homework...do you count your horns?"), this second-person narrative follows a child (or possibly, wink, a dinosaur) through a day of school and play framed by the titular statement. Sidebars and an extensive bibliography offer information about different dinosaur species. Soft-edged illustrations blend reality and imagination and elevate the story with clever situational humor.
