Goodnight, Dragons

Goodnight, Dragons by Judith L. Roth and illustrated by Pascal Lemaitre is a wonderfully written children’s book that every child will enjoy. I know my kids did!

What’s the best way to tame a group of fire-breathing dragons? A suit of armor and a mighty sword? Nope. How about a soft blanket and some hot chocolate? Yup! At least that’s what this little boy has in mind. His plan is to enter the forest in search of dragons and cuddle them with blankets, have them rest on soft beds of clovers, and share a cup of hot chocolate. And in the end, he finds that kindness is what tames these big beasts.

Kiana especially liked this book because she thought the boy was so nice to the dragons. She said that most people would be afraid of them but this boy just wanted to be their friend. This is something that I felt Kiana could really relate to since she’s always been such a sweet girl. She’s always the first one to try to make friends even when there are new kids in school.

The large font is very easy for kids who are just learning how to read and the book uses basic words that most kids will be able to pronounce.

The illustrations really bring the story to life and you just can’t help but fall in love with those adorable sleeping dragons. It’s a book I know we’ll be reading again soon.
