Dragon behaves terribly. He spits on cupcakes, plays tricks on people, and takes candy from baby unicorns. The king and townspeople are very frustrated and angry with the dragon and seek to tame the dragon. But they fail. Only when a young lad uses a story to catch the dragon's attention does it become possible to tame this dragon's terrible behavior. DiPucchio has written a book that would work well for storytimes about dragons, the power of story, and making friends. Pizzoli's adorable illustrations make a nice complement to DiPucchio's great story, especially with fun details like graffiti on the castle walls, and toilet paper draped over the castle. This makes for a fun read that I plan to use with my students to talk about the power of story and kindness. A winner through and through.
Kelly DiPucchio is not only prolific she is hilarious. I am a fan of all of her works but Dragon Was Terrible may be my new fav. It is laugh out loud funny-a pleasure for children and adults. Definitely a repeat read and one of the funniest and most clever children's picture books that I have read in quite some time. The illustrations are by the super talented and awesome Greg Pizzoli. Love that guy. The art is exactly perfect for the story. Can't wait to see what DiPucchio and Pizzoli come up with next.
This may be the funniest book for children I have read all year. I was amused. Children will enjoy this naughty dragon who spits on cupcakes, deliberately burns up roasted marshmallows and toilet papers the king's castle. Who does that???The King offers a reward as to who can tame this naughty dragon. The winning idea involves reading and a story, which makes this a good library and classroom read to promote reading and storytelling.The illustrations are simple and funny. They definitely increase the humor of the book. I personally liked the spit heading towards the cupcakes. The TP's castle was good, too!As a former preschool - 8th grade headmistress and teacher, I think I'd sell the plot to this story as the dragon was bored and was naughty to amuse himself. But, once he learned about reading and stories, he could hear about REAL and POSITIVE adventures so he didn't have to do naughty things to create excitement. Then, perhaps create a list of what students thought would be a great adventure which wouldn't hurt anyone or be disgusting like spitting on cupcakes.Maybe bake cupcakes for a bake sale to raise money for Christmas presents for needy children? Or learn a new hobby or skill? And, if we ever get bored, we know we can always find adventure in a good book or story.
Dragon was indeed a terrible being. He did the naughtiest things and no one in the kingdom could tame him though many tried.Would dragon ever become nice? Doubtful but definitely worth finding out in this funny tale written by Kelly DiPucchio, illustrated by Greg Pizzoli and published by Farrar Strauss Giroux.#dragon #tales #funny #PB
