After this is done, it demonstrates how dinosaurs really eat their food politely. How Do Dinosaurs Eat Their Food by Jane Yolen and Mark Teaque goes through all the sceniros about how dinosaurs could eat their food rudely. If their picture reflects a bad choice or bad behavior, then I would ask them to draw me another picture or write how they would change it to make it a good choice. Some options would be for students to draw the good behaviors discussed in the book, write about their experiences in the lunch room or draw a picture. I would start it on a Monday and then read it everyday before lunch as a reminder and also as way to start a mini lesson. It's a cute book, but my hope would be that after discussing it further and really going into detail on the expectations of the whole class that we may have some of those good behaviors roll-over into their lunchtime. All the impolite behaviors described in the book are what I am currently dealing with so I would more than likely read this book about half and hour before lunch as a read aloud, so we could read the book and then discuss the different behaviors described in the book. They have had a very difficult time in the lunchroom and could use the gentle reminder on what the expectations are of them in the lunchroom.

Anyway, it was good, sexy and the ending was satisfying! The BDSM aspect was not as interesting to me but I'm not an expert on this but I look at these books as fiction- not always depicting complete reality. I have always been fascinated with ice skating, yada yada yada- and this was a different sports story that was very interesting. Thought both their characters believable and had chemistry. Not my norm couple, but I loved Matty and Rob. Review 1: For 99 cents- I was glad I read this one!!! It was long it took many different kinky turns but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Prudence is unique in the world - the daughter of a Soulless and a Werewolf, she is a metanatural. Not even Moira Quick's inspired narration could save this very hot mess of an unlikable set of characters. The culmination unfortunately is our lead in the Custard Protocal - a complete clueless unique snowflake twit that everyone instantly loves and adores despite her intellectually challenged self obsession. What started as an independent but absurdly interesting main character eventually morphed into a fairly stupid and airheaded school girl who at least had some dash. Those who had read both the Soulless and the Finishing School series could probably have seen this coming in the progression of books and how their tones changed.
