Old MacDonald Has a
Dragon
This fun picture book meshes the children’s classic song
‘Old Macdonald” with the classic fantasy trope of a dragon. One can only
imagine the type of havoc a dragon could cause on a farm. The famer is losing
animals left and right. Then the dragon eats the farmer’s dog and the farmer
has had enough. With a little bit of
team work and some music the farmer and his animals managed to chase the dragon
off for good.
I thought this was a fun and clever reinterpretation of two
children’s tropes. A enjoyable read for those that love farm-animal tales.
Cow Can’t Sleep
Cow isn’t comfortable sleeping in the itchy hay. So she goes
to find another place to sleep. That soft feather mattress is slightly more wiggly
and lumpy than she expected. Thus begins
Cow’s chaotic search for a new place to sleep. Who knew that one tired
cow could cause so much havoc on the farm.
A humorous tale about a picky cow looking for a nice place
to sleep.
Brave Little Monster
by Ken Baker
Albert, a young monster faces his fears of boys and girls
before he falls to sleep. Little Albert
is certain that there are little boys and girls lying in wait under his
bed, hiding in his closet, and playing
outside his window. With a little creativity and a lot of courage Albert knows
all the right tricks to scare them away.
The story of a young little monster overcoming his fears of boys and girls. This book made
me laugh because as a young child I used some of the very same tricks to
convince myself my room was safe at night.
