<\/p>\nToday, we were dragons flying high and breathing fire!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Did you know that the best way to make friends with a dragon is by giving him a taco? Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri let you in on the big secret that Dragons Love Tacos<\/a>. You’ll learn everything you need to know about how to host a taco party for dragons, including some of the most important things to avoid, and why! <\/p>\n Have you ever asked your parents for a pet, and needed a really, really convincing reason? The narrator in The Best Pet of All<\/a> by David LaRochelle and illustrated by Hanako Wakiyama begs his mother for a dog, to no avail. Then when he asks her for a dragon she says, “Sure, if you can find one.” Well, reader, be careful what you tell your kids, because he DOES find one and it wreaks havoc on the house until his mother is practically begging for a dog!<\/p>\n Again!<\/a> by Emily Gravett is a cute book that uses her particular gift for out-of-the-box book concepts, like a baby dragon breathing an actual hole in the pages. But I have to admit I need to modify the way I read it if I use this book in the future. In it, a dragon parent is reading a long story (that’s the problem I was having) and modifying it a little to encourage baby dragon Cedric to go to bed, eventually falling asleep herself. Cedric has a tantrum and damages the book. It was cute but some people didn’t stick around for the ending. In hindsight, I probably should have read Prince & Knight<\/a> instead. <\/p>\n Five Brave Knights<\/strong><\/p>\n Five brave knights, here to save the day!
