This book is a fantasy book which talked about a fiction in a berry town between dragon and people. The dragon always holds the opinion that whoever is biggest and strongest and scariest always wins but he failed in the contest between people in the town with him. This story showed us wisdom, unity and freindly personality which lead a correct value outlook for elementary children.
A more advanced (Level 3) reader for an older child. I liked the pictures and story but its main purpose outshone the creative elements of the book.
When her town's welfare is at stake, Holly uses her math knowledge to outsmart a dragon and save her town.
There is a town that everyone like berries. One day, a dragon came to here and said all berries belong to him. A little girl said she wants to have a competition with the dragon. If the girl wins, everyone in the town can eat berries.

It was a fantasy story because the dragon will never exist in our life, and the animal cannot speak.
When a mean dragon takes control of the local bridge, the people of Berryville are cut off from their food supply. What should they do?
