A Weekend Home

This weekend, I went home and I babysat my little cousins. Before they go to bed every night, they get a book read to them. It was the oldest turn to pick out a book so she picked out a book that she had checked out from the library at her school. This book was called Help For A Dear Dragon by Margaret Hillert. The book was about a dragon who was sick and a little boy that helped him feel better. I know this does not have much to do with young adult books, but I thought it was an interesting book to talk about. After reading this book, I thought it was one of the worst books I have ever read (maybe I should bring it in for the worst book ever written!). I didn't like this book for a few reasons. Reason 1. the book was so choppy that it was so hard to read. 2. the pictures in the book were terrible. The lesson that is learned from this book is if a dragon is sick you need to take it to the doctor. That is a good lesson for kids to learn and I think it was portrayed well in this book, but it just didn't flow right. It was a beginners book for little children who are beginning to learn to read should read. This could be why it was so choppy, but it just was not a book that I would recommend reading or letting my child read. Just thought I would let everyone out there know about this book! If you get a chance you guys should read it!
