About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they are tired of nagging about safety rules and want a fun, laughter-filled way to start the conversation. This hilarious 'safety guide' proposes a wild theory: dinosaurs went extinct not because of an asteroid, but because they refused to follow basic rules like 'don't stand on a swivel chair' or 'look both ways before crossing the street'. Each page presents a simple safety rule, followed by a dinosaur doing the exact opposite with comically disastrous results. The book's joyful, slapstick humor makes the topic of safety rules engaging and memorable for young children without being preachy or scary. It's a perfect choice for strong-willed kids who respond better to humor than to lectures.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The central premise is mass extinction, a form of death. However, the approach is 100% metaphorical and absurdist. The extinction is presented as a slapstick consequence of poor choices, not a tragic or scary event. The tone is entirely secular and humorous, with the final meteor impact serving as the ultimate joke. The resolution is simply that the dinosaurs are gone, a historical fact used for comedic effect.
