Picture This: Friends Don't Like Roaring


As soon as this book arrived, I knew it was going to be popular with my dinosaur mad two-year-old (is there such a thing as a two-year-old who isn't dinosaur mad?) Thank you so much Little Steps Publishing for sending us a copy to review. 

Friends Don't Like Roaring follows Lap, the little dinosaur, on a trip to the park. He is desperate to play with the other dinosaurs he meets, but quickly discovers that roaring at them isn't the best way to make friends! With some gentle encouragement from his mother to "use his words" Lap tries again, this time with much more success. 

Friend's Don't Like Roaring introduces the concept of approaching others and making friends in a way that all young children will be able to relate to. It's a sweet story that is clear and easy to follow, and is fun to read aloud (lots of roaring required!)

The art work is also lovely: bold, bright and friendly, my two-year-old was immediately drawn to it.


Friends Don't Like Roaring is written by Antje Taylor and illustrated by Matt Howorth
