Bently, Peter King
Jack and the Dragon Illustrated by Helen Oxenbury Dial Books, 2011. $7.99
BOARD BOOK Content: G.
Three little boys, Jack, Zack and Caspar make
a fort out of a cardboard box, old sheets and some sticks and pretend that Jack
is the king and they are defending their kingdom against dragons and
beasts. After fighting the dragons and
beasts all day they decide they want to sleep in the fort, but one by the one
the kids parents come and get them, with Jack being the last to go. Jack was scared of the night sounds and thought
that his two parents were a four legged beast, but he is happy when it turns
out to be his parents.
This is a cute
book about little boys’ imaginations.
The illustrations are basic, some are just black and white sketches and
others are colored. It’s a good book,
with my only concern being that the dragons look a bit fearsome and might scare
little reader.
PREK-ADVISABLE. Reviewer, C. Peterson.
