Reviews

Dragons may love the library, but it doesn't love them back. There's the whole fire-breathing thing, of course. . . .The premise might draw giggles...

The vibrantly colored illustrations overflow the pages, use aerial perspectives, and accentuate the size of the dragons. It's a clever approach to proper library do's and don'ts. Kudos for including a kid in a wheelchair in the thoughtfully diverse cast. . . .The dragons are as colorful as the characters are multiracial, appearing in shades of vivid purple, blue, green, and orange polka dots. . . .This cautionary tale set in a library with dragon patrons is worth circulating.

Dragons are rude, they set things on fire, they break things, all in all, there are a lot of reason why you shouldn't bring your dragon to the library. So, why not borrow books for your dragon to enjoy at home? Excellent rules for dragon owners!

The illustrations are bright, colorful, and action-packed. . . .The book promotes diversity, with two main characters of color. Readers who enjoy "Easter eggs" will get a kick out of clever image background details like the name of the library (Honalee).

Just in case, you better learn all the reasons why it's not a good idea to bring your pet dragon to the library. Better read to him at home.

Unfortunately, for all the fire-breathers out there who also love a good book, dragons and libraries just don't mix, and Julie Gassman will tell you why in Do Not Bring Your Dragon to the Library, a rhyming misadventure through the shelves and story corner of a local library. Dragons and patrons are a multihued variety shown in lively illustrations from Andy Elkerton. The scene at the library is happening, even with the disruptive behemoths, and boys and girls will be inspired to check out books and story times...
