Title: Raising Dragons
Author: Jerdine Nolen
Raising Dragons is the story of a little farmer girl who finds an dragon egg and cares for the dragon in it. She raises it despite her parents bias against the dragon. The dragon proves himself useful by creating popcorn that the family can sell and shielding Mama’s tomatoes from the extreme heat. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end, so the girl returns her dragon to the other dragons, but returns home with more eggs to raise and care for.
This is a cute story illustrating a farming family. The illlustrator uses a pastel medium to create the illustrations. The story portrays a sense of accomplishment as the girl raises the dragon and is able to do something to help her family.

This is a unique book that would be good for kids that like fantastical and dragon books!
ReplyDeleteAll of your fantasy books seem very interesting but this dragon one stood out to me. When I was in a kindergarten classroom before observing for school, they were all reading this book together within a read aloud and they were so engaged!
