How To Be Friends With a Dragon. Valeri Gorbachev. 2012. Albert Whitman and Company. 32 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Simon loved dragons. He loved dragon toys. He loved
books about dragons, and drawing dragons. In fact, he loved everything
about dragons.
Premise/plot: Simon would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to make
friends with a real dragon. When he tells his secret to his older
sister, Emma, she tells him EVERYTHING there is to know about making
friends with dragons. Some things she's encouraging him to do; some
things she's warning him not to do. Simon listens carefully as his
sister dispenses wisdom.
My thoughts: I liked this one. I did.
It was cute and funny at times. I like Emma and Simon very much. The
dialogue seemed just right.
