How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?

Amazon.com

Following up their bestseller How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, Caldecott Medal winner Jane Yolen and illustrator Mark Teague have penned this instructive lesson on dinosaur health care. Each double-page spread features one enormous dinosaur looking wan and sniffly but mostly cranky, petulant, ornery, sullen, and disagreeable. The human moms and dads are visibly worried and/or frustrated by their sick dinos behaving badly. Witness the nice lady dragging her gigantic Styracosaurus out of the elevator and across the hall to the doctor's office: "What if a dinosaur goes to the doc? Does he drag all his feet till his mom is in shock?" The look on this mom's face will be familiar to anyone who's ever forcibly moved a child, who seems to have suddenly gained a million pounds, from one place to another. And of course, it turns out that dinosaurs don't misbehave when they're sick: "He drinks lots of juice, and he gets lots of rest. He's good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best."

The rhymes are somewhat forced, especially toward the end of the book, but Teague's marvelous paintings are bright and expressive throughout. Each dinosaur is cleverly labeled, and these aren't your run-of-the-mill dinos; dinosaur-obsessed little ones will crow over Parasaurolophus, Euoplocephalus, and Tuojiangosaurus. They'll also learn a little something about how to behave when they're sick. --Jennifer Lindsay

Book Description

What if a dinosaur catches the flu?Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?Does he fling his medicine out of the door? Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best. As in their previous book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures.

A Take Along Book.......2007-10-05

My husband and I have been reading to our two-year-old son since birth. He, however, has shown little to no interest in books. That is until we picked up How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon. We have all the How Do Dinosaur books, but our son fell under the spell of this one. I have to say I love it too. Simple rhymes and brilliant and colorful illustrations have made this the book my son carries everywhere. It even accompanied us to the doctor for a check-up! My little one loves to "Atchoo!" and say bless you after reading this book and I never get tired of hearing it either. I would recommend any of Jane Yolen and Mark Teague's books for their brief rhyming language and awesome illustrations.

Does your doctor fear the Doctors?.......2007-07-22

My daughter HATES going to the Dr. For any parent I advise getting a toy medical kit, and this book. We were introduced to the Dinosaurs in "How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?" and we fell in love. My husband reads it to her every night before bed. After she was in love with the "Diyos"(her word for Dino's), "How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?" was a no brainer.

Too silly for me! I like real dinosaur books........2007-06-08

How Do Dinosaurs Get Well by Jane Yolen is a silly book about dinosaurs. They are sick and have to take their medicine. It is also about the dinosaurs getting well. I did not like the book because I do not like fiction. Dinosaurs couldn't go to the doctor because there weren't any doctors when they were alive. I would change the book because it does not show dinosaurs in their habitats.

Dinosaur books.......2007-05-28

My kids love these Dinosaur series. They're 2 and 5 and they love the names of these dinosaurs. I have all these books and i am looking forward to the new book from this series.

Can't go wrong with How Do Dinosaurs books.......2007-04-05

My 3 yo son loves dinosaurs. The first book of this series I picked up was How Do Dinosaurs Play with Their Friends. He LOVES these books! Even my 14 mo toddler daughter loves these books. They are fun and the words have a nice rhythm. And, they teach such nice little lessons to the preschool age. We now have all of the books in this series - except for the preorder How Do Dinosaurs Go to School, which we will be getting as well! You can't go wrong with any of these books! And, they are a great gift - even for book exchanges at school.

Book Description

The political landscape created by industrialization in the first half of the twentieth century has become increasingly unstable as the industrial labor force contracts, eroding support for labor parties on a global scale. This volume examines challenges faced by labor in the West over the last decade, through a comparative study of labor-based political parties in the United States, England, France, West Germany, Sweden, Israel and Canada. The contributors, internationally-recognized sociologists and political scientists, examine factors contributing to the growth, maintenance or decline of these parties, while Piven offers a comprehensive overview of labor politics and shows how the history of labor parties in other countries helps make sense of the postwar history of the Democratic party in the U.S.

Book Description
In October 1985, at age 27, Danny Meyer, with a good idea and scant experience, opened what would become one of New York City's most revered restaurants--Union Square Cafe. Little more than twenty years later, Danny is the CEO of one of the world's most dynamic restaurant organizations, which includes 11 unique dining establishments, each at the top of its game. How has he done it? How has he consistently beaten the odds and set the competitive bar in one of the toughest trades around?

In this landmark book, Danny shares the lessons he's learned while developing the winning recipe for doing the business he calls "enlightened hospitality." This innovative philosophy emphasizes putting the power of hospitality to work in a new and counterintuitive way: The first and most important application of hospitality is to the people who work for you, and then, in descending order of priority, to the guests, the community, the suppliers, and the investors. This way of prioritizing stands the more traditional business models on their heads, but Danny considers it the foundation of every success that he and his restaurants have achieved.

Full of behind-the-scenes history on the creation of Danny's most famous restaurants and the anecdotes, advice, and lessons he has accumulated on his long and ecstatic journey to the top of the American restaurant scene, Setting the Table is a treasure trove of innovative insights that are applicable to any business or organization.

Service with a Smile: Dishing with Danny Meyer

Is the customer always right? According to Danny Meyer, one of America's leading restauranteurs, the answer is no--but "they must always feel heard." Named one of the most influential New Yorkers of 2006 by New York magazine, Meyer, the founder and co-owner of 11 of Manhattan's most influential restaurants, including Union Square Cafe, Gramercy Tavern, Tabla, The Modern, Blue Smoke, and Shake Shack, has penned Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality, a business book that reads like food lit and equal part personal memoir. Amazon.com senior editor Brad Thomas Parsons took some time from his daily long-distance day-dreaming of Shake Shack and caught up with the ever-gracious Danny Meyer over e-mail to ask about his new book, the Food Network, his favorite cookbooks, insider tips on dining out, and much more.

Book Description

Why not take seriously the claim that Harry Potter's world intertwines with our own? In this timely yet otherworldly volume, more than a dozen scholars of international relations join hands to demonstrate how this well-loved artifact of popular culture reflects and shapes our own lifeworld. A wide range of historical and sociological sources shows how Harry's world contains aspects of our own. Practices such as quidditch dovetail quite clearly with muggle sports, and the very British-ness of the books has, in translation into languages such as Turkish and Arabic, been transformed to reflect these unique cultures. Chapters on the political economy of the franchise as well as the scholarly problems of studying popular culture frame what is essentially a highly info-taining read. A landmark in muggle studies The Daily Prophet.

Secrets of Producing and Selling Successful Videos

ASIN: 1888093099

Product Description

Veteran award-winning cameraman, producer, and founder of VideoUniversity, Hal Landen's latest book, Marketing with Digital Video: How to Create a Winning Video For Your Small Business or Non-Profit, shows how small-budget businesses can take advantage of today's affordable digital technology to produce effective business videos.

Written in the same no-nonsense, readable and user-friendly manner as his previous book, the acclaimed Marketing with Video, Landen has the gift of making the sometimes confusing, technical world of video production accessible to even the least technically-minded reader. Whether you aspire to be a hands-on video maker, or an executive producer who doesn't want to get overly technical, Marketing with Digital Video tells you everything you need to know-everything you should know-before, during and after filming.

As important as technology is today, the heart of this book is not just about technology but rather about how to make an effective video on a shoestring budget. Even if you don't plan to produce your own business video, you'll learn how to hire the right people to do the job for you, pitfalls to avoid, and tricks of the trade gleaned from Landen's years of on-the-job experience.

Hal Landen's love of filmmaking shows in every chapter, and his eagerness to share his vast knowledge and experience help make Marketing with Digital Video a fun book to read, too. Anyone interested in the art of making videos and movies will find Landen's chapters on The Art of Editing, and Sound Editing, which offer a fascinating insight into the mechanics of a highly complex subject, particularly enthralling. His entertaining anecdotes and asides throughout the book make it feel very personal, as if he were sitting next to you guiding you through each stage.

By the time you have finished reading it, you will feel like a pro, knowing what previously impenetrable terms like Dolly Shot and Dramatic Axis mean, how to set up a budget so there are no nasty surprises later, how to hire a cameraman, where to find music-Landen leaves nothing to chance. Even potential legal issues are addressed and the exhaustive, fact-filled appendix includes sample release forms.

Most importantly, though, readers will be well-equipped to produce a professional, highly effective video on a lean budget in order to promote their business or non-profit, and able to take advantage of the infinite marketing opportunities digital video offers.

Just what the title says.......2006-07-13

There are many books on videos, many on marketing, this one is written for readers who want to do both - market with video.

It takes you step by step and explains the equipment, techniques - scripting, shooting, editing concepts in a warm and friendly way. If you want to see excerpts, go to the author's web site: www.videouniversity.com, and you can see excerpts from each chapter in the book.

The book has also been completely revised in 2005. I get so frustrated reading video how to books that are still talking about VHS tapes. This one knows about mini-DV recorders and DVDs. Hurray! I definitely recommend this book if you are trying to market your business using a video.

It is beyond the scope of this book, however, if you are trying to market your business using a video, you should get a book as well on how to stream your video on the internet because that's how business marketing videos are being viewed these days.

A Refreshing Entry of Clarity and Utility.......2000-10-16

"Marketing With Video" is a rare and anomalous entry in the genre of self-help, because it speaks personally to one's self and is consistently helpful. Author Landen is a natural born teacher, taking his reader through a meticulously charted course of instruction to which is added the buoyancy of his own enthusiasm for the subject. Although this very practical book focuses on creating marketing videos for small business, all the points it makes bear true for movie-making in the full gamut of its manifestations. In other words, this is a complete book of film-making in microcosm. The essentials are all here--sufficiently detailed to be comprehensive but not so abstruse as to be intimidating. We are introduced to the basic grammar of cinematography; we find out what can be learned by watching commercials with the sound turned off; how a non-writer can draft a solid film script; the elements and economical short-cuts of pre- and post-production; thrifty tips and clever tricks of the trade; and how to combat the driving obsession to include family members in your film. All this is related with utmost clarity and a positive regard for the reader. This book teaches without condescension; the many examples provided are especially helpful. Landen not only convinces you that you can master the skills necessary to make your own successful business video, he actually makes you want to do it. Considering the exorbitant fees that reputable companies charge for bad marketing videos, this book is a godsend for its specific audience and offers a fresh perspective to everyone interested in film.
