Do Not Take Your Dragon to Dinner by Julie Gassman

4.0

This was such a cute book. It's a great way to talk about table manners and being respectful of those around us. I loved how dragons were added to give it an extra charming touch, adding more to this well written story.

My daughter decided that after reading this book and going through every scenario with me she wanted to read it all over again. I knew it was going to be one that she would enjoy reading often. She talked with me about all the things that went on, the wrongs and what was the right thing to do, how funny it was when the dragons didn't realize they were making a mess. She was very much into this story, and really liked when the dragon was able to go back out again.

I found that it moved along easily and the illustrations made it so much fun. It wasn't over the top, adding just the right amount for a child to understand the meaning behind it all and the want to help out the dragons become more mindful of their manners. It was just the right amount, not too long and not too short. I especially enjoyed the part where they were able to make a meal together and have fun with it while learning the proper etiquette of dining out.

This will definitely be one I add to my daughter's collection once it is out. I am also looking forward to checking out more books written by Julie Gassman.
