Describes how a dinosaur eats, with no rude noises and while sitting very still. How does a dinosaur eat all his food? Does he burp, does he belch, or make noises quite rude?

However, with a little help from Mom and Dad, these young dinosaurs eat all before them with smiles and goodwill....

A young dinosaur shows how to stay friends even after having a terrible fight with his very best friend.
