If you are of a certain age you would remember the books called What do you say dear and What do you do dear . They were, at least my generation's books that told you, with humor, how to handle situations, and how to use manors. For my mother's generation, there was Goops and how to be them

My point is that there has to be a way to tell kids, with humor, the right way to act in society. This might not be the book that this generation uses, but it could be. It uses humor, which is important to getting the idea across, because manor should be logical, but they aren't always to a child. Besides, dragons. Who doesn't love dragons.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

A hilarious book about taking your dragon to a restaurant and all of the trouble that ensues.

Very funny and entertaining. A perfect book for dragon-lovers and those fascinated with slightly gross things like messy eating and nose picking.

I loved the illustrations. They are all very fun and colorful. Very well done.

This is a fantastic book. I just found [b: Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library|29065122|Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library|Julie Gassman|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458251898s/29065122.jpg|49286020] (ironically enough at the library) this week and am very excited to read it.

Awesome series. I hope this is one that continues.

Do Not Take Your Dragon to Dinner discusses how difficult it is to teach your pet dragon table manners. The bad table manners are typical behaviors children engage in, so this can be used as a learning opportunity as well to help them realize what they should be doing at a restaurant or the kitchen table. The story remains me of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and No Pirates in the Library and I love that it depicts different cultures and races because diversity is always great to have in a children's story. The illustrations are funny and colorful.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

I am really enjoying Gassman/Elkerton collaborations. The stories are fun, the illustrations brightly colored and engaging. In a previous book, we learned why it was not a good idea to take your dragon to the library. Here, we find out why taking a dragon to dinner might not be a good idea. There is a nice suggestion of starting at home where the dragon can help cook dinner and practice manners before they can go out for dinner.
Can't wait for the next one.

Some funny rhymes about dragons with casual diversity. Nice!

So, so cute. The illustrations and the rhyming cadence of this story work perfectly together. It’s a list of very plausible reason while taking a dragon to dinner would be a very bad idea.
