Dragon was oh so terrible until he was not.  But what is it that calms a terrible dragon and makes a good friend.  Why a good story of course.  Lots of fun to be had in the pages of this one. 

 I love a wordless picture book but I wish this one wasn’t so dad.  It's just a big ball of depression.  The illustrations are absolutely wonderful but I hate any book where an animal dies. 

 This was a lovely book about the beginning of the Ferris Wheel.  It was both a story and a collection of info bits that made it that much more fun to read.  Plus the illustrations take the reader back 120 years and make you ready to see the sun and walk the midway. 

 Not as much fun as Duck on a Bike, but fun enough. 

 This book was adorable.  Marilyn is the last kid to be found by her monster.  She feels lonely and left out. She decides to go against the grain and go look for her monster, and it’s a good thing she did.  The watercolor illustrations are simply lovely and make this book better than the story alone. 

 This is a happy but also a sad Otis.  The barn catches fire and little kittens are stuck inside.  After Otis rescues them, he gets stuck in the burning barn.  It will take everyone to get him out.  I think why this makes me sad is because it reminds me of my grandma's barn burning down and no one being able to help.  It’s a great book, but not one for me. 

 This is a fun rhyming book about building a road.  Kids of all ages will love the action words and silly sounds as they look at equipment and work for a foundation that helps us go places. 

 While I have read many spot books in my lifetime, I am not sure I have ever read the original Spot book.  It is lovely to find a university library that has an original copy in almost pristine condition.  It’s a lovely short lift the flap story that has stood the test of time and will continue to live on into the future. 

 This book almost made me happy cry. It was just so lovely.  It’s not your typical christmas book at all.  It’s a little lengthy and verbose, but the story of Red and his want of a Tweed bicycle is such a lovely story, that may or may not be based on truth.  I loved every minute of it and will be seeking a copy for my permanent collection. 

 Not bad, but not the best of the bunch.  It is a fun little rhyming ABC book full of all things construction.  It’s a solid read that many kids will love.
