Princess Katy & Drake the Dragon Take a Plunge offers two things for the adult to work with to give the young child learning experiences as they read this book to them. First is the use of rhyme to emphasis the sounds of our language; young children will soon learn to recognize books that rhyme if the reader points the rhyme out to them and explain how endings of words sound alike. Children will learn the rhyming sounds and to recognize that they come at the end of the word, which is a way to point out that words have parts.  The second and more obvious learning experience is to help the child face fears in a positive manner. In this story the fear is the fear of water, but it can be changed to any fear that is known to the adult. When children can talk about fears they learn to control them with our help so this small book can be used to help the child overcome and control fears with the proper guidance. It has nice illustrations too.
