Have you ever wandered through the trees and heard something strange? It’s probably just a rabbit or a bird, right? Maybe the wind?
But what if it wasn’t. What if it was dragons?
Well, this is exactly what happens to Rose!
While playing in the woods, she stumbles across two fearsome dragons with black eyes and terrible talons. But…
So the dancing begins…
First was the dragon with horns of bright red,
flaring his nostrils and bopping his head.
Grooving and shaking and tapping his toes,
then spinning around on the tip of his nose.
They are both very good. How could Rose possibly choose which is best? But then one more contender comes into the mix and changes everything.
Dancing with Dragons is a super joyful rhyming picture book for kids who love a splash of fantasy with their stories. I am OBSESSED with dragons, so this one really speaks to me, and I love how the story encourages movement and dance.
Delivered in funky rhyme, by author Amy Dunjey, the story flows from the tongue to the tips of your toes. Paired with stunning illustrations from Jesus Lopez, each turn of the page is colourful, bright and engaging. There are some gorgeous colours in this book, from golden pink morning hues to the purple-green forest palate and bright red dragon scales. It’s just really, really beautiful.
If you love a fun rhyming tales and you love dragons, you’re really going to love Dancing with Dragons by Amy Dunjey and Jesus Lopez.
