It’s a fun story to read again and again, especially when a child finally realizes the dragon is all in the boy’s imagination! Moore captures this childhood experience of blaming someone else (or something else) perfectly. The little boy is craving some extra attention and boy does he get it. The illustrations by McWilliam help set the amusing and adventurous mood of the story. Children will love the antics, but may not realize it’s the little boy’s imagination that has run wild.īrief Review: This is my nephew’s favorite book and an excellent read aloud choice. No one believes the boy when he explains a dragon is his new friend, especially when the dragon eats every sandwich, blows bubbles in the lemonade and leaves claw prints in the brownies. He befriends the dragon and they spend the day swimming, flying a kite, roasting marshmallows and more–all while Dad is busy setting up the beach site and Mom is engrossed in reading a book. Potential Audience: Boys will love this tale of a boy and a dragon.īrief Summary: On a day at the beach with his family, a boy sets to build the perfect sandcastle. Themes: imagination, family, beaches, dragons
