Little Dinos Don't Bite (Hello Genius)

If this review had 20 stars I'd choose that ! I had a really big issue with my 2 year old biting so I decided to give this book a try ! Within 2 days of reading this book to him multiple times a day he stopped biting 🙏🏼 I was at my wits end with having to discipline him and had I known this book was the answer for him I would have bought it months ago ! It's super cute and it's still one of the three books he brings to me to ready every day !

Little Dinos Don’t Bite is a fantastic book with a fun and engaging way to teach kids about good behavior! The colorful illustrations and simple, repetitive text make it perfect for toddlers and young children. My little one loves the adorable dinosaur characters and enjoys reading it over and over. It's a great tool for teaching manners in a positive, kid-friendly way. Highly recommend for parents and educators!

Very cute book. Helps with toilet training, toddle can relate

Our toddler recently started biting so I got this book to read to him. Its helped him understand and thus he stopped biting!

This is one of a few Michael Dahl books I previewed on kindle unlimited and then decided to buy. While I agree with another reviewer that "Teeth are not for Biting" by Verdick is a great book for general biting, there are a few things I actually really like about this book and I think gives it considerable value in our present circumstances.For our son, who has Autism and a Sensory Processing Disorder, among other things, his most common target for biting is rarely people. He's only once tried to take a chomp out of the fabulous Miss W, who comes over here and plays with us a few days a week. He's a couple of times tried to take a chomp out of his super cool music therapist, and maybe once every week or two on average he'll try to take a chomp on me. And the occasional attempt towards a person is really an emergence we're seeing after a dental procedure, albeit one we don't want to see become a habit. No, his primary target for all chewing and "biting" if you will is stuff. My cookbooks. His toys. His books. Pencils. Table corners. Foam mats. Actually, if it exists at this point, he's willing to try and stick it in his mouth, including Catzilla's tail. About the only favorable thing I can really say about Catzilla at this point (other then he brings insane amounts of joy to my daughter) is that he definitely seems to recognize that there's something special about our little man, and no matter how many times he tries to chew on his tale, Catzilla never, ever reacts to it. And we all know in this house Catzilla's one to react to things he doesn't like or approve of. Boy do we know that...So this book mentions being careful what you bite, and discourages biting typical toys, chairs, shoes, and mom. I think it's great that it discourages both people and things, with the greater balance being on the "items" because that's mostly what he does try to chew on. Neither type is good, but the chewing on things can actually pose a considerable safety risk. Scissors can never be left out. Nor can glues, chemicals, anything of the sort. He's literal enough we may need a separate story on those types of things, he may not generalize to those, but I think this book is a good enough place to start.My main criticism is that it only gives food substitutes as appropriate for biting, and not teethers, chewy toys, gum, straws, etc. The thing is, I just think food should be eaten only when a person is hungry, but there are many times kiddos have reasons for biting, like teething or sensory issues, that have nothing to do with hunger, And I think part of appropriate management for those behaviors is to recognize that and give them non-food subs. I think encouraging eating when one isn't actually hungry doesn't lead to good habits down the road, like emotional eating, which can become a very slippery slope indeed from the medical perspective. So for me, I combine this with other books, which don't really address that there are some non-people items that aren't ok to chew on, paired with continual replacement of whatever he's trying to chew on with an appropriate item, etc. We've been working on this particular challenge for a while now, so I don't expect this book is going to solve all of our problems, but I think it's a very nice reinforcement story.I would also say typically best for a developmentally normal 18 month to 2 years of age. The sentence structure is very simple, which I like for our son. Who can understand at a higher level then that, but has limited patience for books, especially if they target things he doesn't see the need to work on so it's great to get in there, get the message out quick, and be done with it. We're able to successfully get him through these because of it.
