ABOUT THE BOOK
Who Loves the Dragon?
Written by Bianca Schulze
Illustrated by Samara Hardy
Publisher’s Synopsis: In this interactive follow-up to Don’t Wake the Dragon, our beloved Dragon is wide-awake and preparing to celebrate one of the kingdom’s most important events of the year: the annual Friendship Festival! It’s a time for everyone to gather and have fun, all honoring their meaningful friendships. But on the day of the feast, the cooks are called away to cater to the Queen and the knights must report for special duty in the Enchanted Forest. With everyone gone, Dragon is upset and worried that this year’s Friendship Festival is doomed. Could they be planning something special for her? And in the meantime, can you help cheer her up? With colorful and humorous illustrations throughout, this read-aloud picture book encourages kids to interact with the text on every page. Young readers will love waving to characters, blowing kisses, dancing, and more on this fun ride alongside Dragon and her adorable friends in this delightful story that will beg to be read again and again.

My Review
Who doesn’t love a book about dragons? This book is perfectly written and illustrated for three to six year old’s. Books in this age group must have illustrations that capture and hold their attention. This one more than meets expectations!
The story is about Dragon and his friends. Dragon has many, many friends and today is the Friendship Festival. Dragon loves the Friendship Festival every year, because he gets to spend time celebrating with his wonderful friends.
But, they’re all busy today. That puts Dragon into a bad mood. He’s grumpy, sulky, and is even breathing fire. The book now becomes interactive. The narrator asks the children reading the book to try and help Dragon feel better.
The children are asked to do different things to make Dragon feel happy: sing and dance, march, count to 10, share positive words, stroke the dragon, tell jokes, and more. Before you know it, Dragon is happy again. The end of the book brings more even more smiles. Your child will love this, as I did.
