Dragon's Merry Christmas by Dav Pilkey
5.0
This fabulous little Holiday book should be in every family library!
The grandsons and I enjoyed this book so much. Each of the little stories are fun and offer deeper talking points if you want to utilize them.
Dragon searches for his perfect Christmas tree and when he finds it, it’s too beautiful to cut down. He decides to decorate it where it stands to save the tree, yet he can view it from his window.
Next, he creates a Christmas wreath from wire, tape, and chocolate candy. The only problem is he can’t stop eating the candies until he has ruined his wreath.
Poor Dragon keeps losing his mittens so he buys clips to attach them to his coat. This works great until he loses his coat.
In the last tale, Dragon goes shopping to buy Christmas gifts for himself. On his way home he discovers others that need his gifts more than he does. He feels he should be sad for giving away all his gifts, but feels surprisingly happy and peaceful for helping others in need.
Do you see what I mean? The stories and fabulous illustrations are entertaining and easy for young readers to manage on their own. Don’t miss the opportunity to engage in lovely conversations with the little ones while reading this book. There are suggestions at the end of the book to start the talks.
The author also includes step by step directions to learn to draw Dragon. So much good in a small little book!
As you can probably guess, I highly recommend Dragon’s Merry Christmas to absolutely everyone!
