Krause, Ute Oscar and
the Very Hungry Dragon North/South,
2007. $8.95 PICTURE BOOK
Content: G.
A dragon on the hill
is hungry and the village is supposed to feed him a plump princess, but they
don’t have one, so they have a lottery and Oscar loses. Oscar goes to the dragon and as the dragon is
ready to put Oscar in his mouth, Oscar convinces the dragon that he needs to
wait until Oscar is fatter. Oscar then
has the dragon buy him groceries while he cooks gourmet meals. Eventually Oscar convinces the dragon to eat
his yummy food, and then further convinces the dragon that if Oscar were to be
eaten, then the dragon wouldn’t enjoy any more of his delicious meals.
This is a clever and entertaining story with
adorable illustrations. There are quite
a bit of words, with 2-3 full paragraphs per page layout, but the story moves
along quickly and doesn’t feel long.
Great read.
