I love this because:
A. It has dragons.
B. It teaches the reader about library services.
C. It has a diverse cast of characters
and D. It's good for storytimes because you can get the kids to yell with you ( )

This fun story teaches good library behavior while entertaining kids with dragons.

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley. ( )

My storytime kiddos really did not feel this one. Cute, but I don't think I'll storytime it again. ( )

The story was very cute! It was told in rhyme which I think children would enjoy as a read aloud as it has a nice flow and rhythm. It was an introduction to visiting a library. It showed all the things you might encounter there besides just books on shelves. There might be storytelling, crafts, folk concerts, computers and more. By bringing in the idea of the dragon, it showed how to behave properly and respect the property, the activities and other people while you are there. The lesson wasn't pushed in the face, but rather subtle and could be inferred from the illustration of what not to do when at the library.

The illustrations were amazing. The colors were vibrant, bold, and would grab the attention of a child. I liked that they used different dragons throughout the story so it was not just one child and his/her dragon they were talking about. I loved the diversity of the children, including one in a wheelchair. There needs to be more of this in children's book. It was more realistic of what you would see in a school, classroom or a community. This was a great idea for a book.

This book would be wonderful as a read aloud to young and older children. It could be used from Pre-Kindergarten to late primary. I wish I had had this book in my class and library.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
