Summary

A delightful rhyming picture book that's perfect for any little dragon (or child) getting ready to start school.

When a dragon goes to school, will she enjoy a book in the reading den and save her lunchtime treats for a friend? Or will she throw the crayons and refuse to share? She's going to need her friends to help her behave herself . . . she is DRAGON after all! With sweet illustrations from Rosalind Beardshaw, many adults will recognize little dragon's preschool behavior. But Caryl Hart's instructional and gentle tone will convey to little ones the best way to behave at school while encouraging them to embrace their own individual spirits.
