A very cute book.
Crispin's family has always been fire-breathing, and now that he's
seven he'll join them in the ranks of fire-breathing dragons. Or
will he? I really enjoyed Crispin's tale. It was different and fun
(after all, he's not your typical dragon).

Words flow in a bouncy musical sort of
way, with vocab (instruments as well as descriptors). Would make for
a cute bedtime story. I read it twice in a row to the kiddos, but
didn't fully appreciate it myself until I read it on my own later.

Adorable. When I actually sat down and read this I really enjoyed it. It was clever, had a great ending, and was plain ol' fun. Plus there's a recipe at the end for all those that enjoy that sort of thing.

I'm glad you enjoyed these books too! My kids love the fun books, I tend to stray too far into serious picture books sometimes but we always have these to get some giggling going.
ReplyDeleteI tend to go for the ones I can really getting into reading aloud. That way I can have fun reading them when they want to hear them over and OVER again. But the more serious ones have definite value and are to be appreciated. =)
