Es la historia de un niño con su dragón que salen despúes de un día de lluvia a jugar con sus amigos .

The Dear Dragon series is made up of several books that are easy readers. They use site vocabulary that is printed in the back of the book. It reminds me of the books I learned to read with.

In this issue of the Dear Dragon series, the boy and his pet dragon learn about some things that happen in spring such as rainy days, new flowers growing, St. Patrick's Day and Easter baskets. They see animals that appear in spring such as robins and bunnies and play outside with their friends doing things like playing marbles and hopscotch. A cute story to introduce young readers to spring words and seasonal activities.

These Beginning-to-Read books capture the imaginations of beginning readers and help them on their way to independent reading. They could also be read aloud to young children who are not able to read yet. A great addition to a family library or a primary classroom.

Thank you to Netgalley and Norwood House Press for the opportunity to read and review this book. ( )

IT'S SPRING, DEAR DRAGON makes me smile. It's a book for kindergarten level readers and it's simple See Spot Run sentences evoke the warm fuzzies for me.

Oh, yes!
I see something.
Something little and green.

To which mom responds with:

The little green things
will get big and pretty.
You will see.

Classic Dick and Jane stuff.

The book might have only gotten 3 STARS from me except for the artwork. If you expand upon what the artist has included, you will be able to talk about Spring in terms of growing flowers, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, and Robins with their migration patterns.

Not bad for a book with only 240 words.

Didn't win a Caldecott, but a useful primer. ( )
