The Book
"The Dragon That Didn't Like Fire" is a much anticipated sequel to the "The Crocodile Who Didn't Like Water." This sweet story is about acceptance, difference and unconditional love.
When you think of dragons your mind envisions large fire-breathing dragons that are powerful, intimidating and dangerous. The little dragon in the story cannot produce fire, she is diminutive in stature, and she cannot fly. She may not check all the boxes as to what a dragon is supposed to be but her heart is brave and she is willing to find out why she is so different from the other siblings in her clan. She wants to make her Dad proud of her even though she lacks those important dragon qualities.
As she unsuccessfully attempts to fly she plunges into a lake. Her dad has told his little dragons to stay way from water because it's wet, cold and horrid. She spirals down into the deep she surfaces feeling amazing and euphoric. How can that possibly be? Is she truly not a dragon after all?
The illustrations are well done and engaging. They are full of action and emotion. I love the values that the book portrays. They give openings for conversations as the book is shared together. I highly recommend this book.
