review 1: Waking Dragons is a cute book about a little boy who has the job of waking his dragon before going to school. The dragon has a lot of things it has to do in order to get ready for school. This is a fast paced read-aloud that would be good with younger children.This could also be a good way to teach sequencing or it could be used with older children (3rd-4th) to talk about writing as kids could create their own writing based on an animal or creature that they have to get ready in the morning!
review 2: The acrylic paint illustrations shine in this picture book about a young boy's responsibility for waking two dragons before setting off to school. The double-page spread that shows the dragons high in the sky, soaring over Knight School, is painted from a perspe... morective looking down on them, which makes it particularly appealing. I enjoyed the dragons' sleepiness and their size, but the language used in the rhyming text itself didn't particularly impress me. The visual images are what's noticeable in this book. less
