Hi there!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today, we're spreading a bit of pre book birthday BUZZ for a NEW TITLE coming soon via Clever Publishing! From the author that brought us Don't Wake the Dragon, and the adorable Who Loves the Dragon, comes a new addition to the charming collection just perfect for kiddos headed back to school this Fall. In my neck of the woods, that date is this Tuesday, but for others, they still have a few weeks of summer vacation left to enjoy and prepare. Whichever school bus you may be in, Dragon is ready to show you that the first day experience is not so scary after all! Ready, set, let's check in with Dragon and friends as we discover today's ebook of choice...
Just Be Yourself Dragon!

Bianca Schulz
Illustrated by

Clever Publishing
Release Date: 08/24/21
It's another FUN-tastic interactive storybook adventure where you and Dragon are tackling the sometimes dreaded and other times highly anticipated....FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL! It's enough to send shockwaves of terror into the hearts of children and not merely because it signals the end of summer. No, those first day jitters can get the best of ANYONE, but as Dragon's friends help her realize, there's no right or wrong way to be...JUST BE YOURSELF! As we follow Dragon through a day of ups and downs, she soon learns that with a friend by your side, you can face anything...and the best way to make new friends is to just be you!
The illustrations in this series have been phenomenal, and the same can be said for this installment. They are BRIGHT, COLORFUL, and full of FUN, yet able to depict situations that readers can relate to...whether they be fellow dragons or of the human variety. Take those images and marry them to a story line that everyone has had to go through at some point in their lives and add in the interactive element where YOU get to be the friendly volunteer to help Dragon gain her confidence, and you truly have something to remember. Whether read in the classroom or at home to help ease those first day woes, this is a book that will be reached for time and time again.
