Next time you have a day when it seems like nothing can go right, remember that your day is not likely to be as bad as Dragon's! I recommend that you read the book soon so you can laugh at yourself later....

(No, I'm not talking about finding out you have cancer or something... just the ordinary kinds of bad days we all have and can survive better if we do laugh.)
My 8-yo has adored this book since she was 6 and could read it independently in Spanish. And even though her Spanish skills weren't great, this was super easy for her to read.

The lovely illustrations and storyline make it a favorite!
This book talks about doing chores and how the little dragon ignores them. He doesn't ever face his tasks and they build up. It is a fun story that is mostly entertaining.
a fun book about the little adventure of a young dragon
