There are so many choices when it comes to selecting a book that's right for you! As such I am pretty picky. I want it to be entertaining, but also teach a lesson. This book does both.This is a wonderfully written book with each line rhyming wonderfully with the last without tongues getting tangled or forced syllables added.Join Drake a dragon who loves to watch others play, but it afraid to join them. One day a little boy he is watching, Bill, gets into a scary situation. Luckily, Drake is there to save them. Before we have much time to celebrate this new friendship we see that one of Bill's friends, Sue, doesn't think that Drake is the kind of being they should be friends with... he's, "different."This is a great book to remind / teach that people should be judged based on their actions; they should NOT be judged based on how they look or how they were born.In addition to this plot and lyrical verse the story really is beautifully drawn! It also includes a link to a free printable coloring book. The coloring book is essentially the story without the words or colors. See if your students can rewrite the story in their worn words to make this a fun way to learn.
