The Dragons Are Singing Tonight by Jack Prelutsky
5.0
What put this 30-year-old picture book on my radar? An Instagram reel of a Solano County (Calif.) librarian reading one of the poems, at the request of their mother, in memory of a library patron.
It is a book that should be on every librarian’s and parent’s radar! Any child who goes through the “dragon phase” (all of us??) needs to be handed this beautiful treasure. The rhyming poems will introduce youngsters to the fun and magic of poetry while also feeding their insatiable appetite for anything and everything about dragons.
My favorite is “I am Boom!” as I loved the images it conjured of dragon’s creating the weather and storms in our everyday life. See…proof they are real! Don’t you doubt it!
