An adorable dragon for a pet? Who wouldn't love that? The young boy in this story is keen not to have just any old pet, but a fire-breathing, not-big dragon as a pet and friend. He imagines how he would take care of the dragon, detailing the advantages of having a fire-breathing, flying dragon for a pet.The illustrations are adorable. Even if I didn't think having a dragon as a pet would be awesome, the cute face of our red, fire-breathing friend, loving gazing out of the cover would be enough for me to snatch him home! There are recurring themes of bluebirds and Knight Boy also in the illustrations throughout the book, which adds to the visuals' cohesion. Biedrzycki, David. Me and my dragon. Watertown, Mass.: Charlesbridge, 2011. Print.Me and My DragonBy David BiedrzyckiI chose this book because my five year old nephew is in love with dragons and would adore having one as a pet. This book is about a little boy who wants a more unique kind of pet. He doesn’t want a dog, cat, gerbil or fish. He wants a dragon. It is all about how he would care for his dragon and the wonderful things they could do together. It touches on responsibility, bullies, the pros and cons of having a dragon as a pet. Your pet dragon could do great things like fly you to school when you are running late however you would not want to give him too much broccoli because it gives them gas and that can be dangerous for a fire-breathing dragon. I would love to use this in a classroom for Kindergarten through 3rd grade. Older children could read it alone or I could read it to the class with a writing activity attached to it such as writing about the pet they wish to have one day. A child’s imagination is the focus of this book and it could be the focus of such a writing lesson.
What do You think about Mi Dragon Y Yo (2014)?
Charming story about a boy who tells what he'd do if he adopted a fire-breating dragon for a pet.
