Who Wants a Dragon

This book is a nice rhyming book for young readers. This is a story about a young dragon who needs to find someone who will love him and cuddle with him. He tries to find people or other animals to take care of him, but everyone is either really scared of him or for some reason doesn't want to be around him. Finally, in the end he finds his mother who will do all the things he was looking for someone to do. 

The illustrations are bright and beautiful. They pull the reader in and keep them hooked on what will happen next. This book is a good way to teach correct expression in some one's voice. With many different question marks and exclamation points, it is easy for young readers to be able to acknowledge the differences and read in a voice that is appropriate. This book is also perfect for little ones because the print is a lot larger than a normal book and the vocabulary is a lot simpler. I think I would have this book in my classroom for younger readers to read and go to during independent reading time.
