  A funny, playful salute to the value of books and libraries from the New York Times best-selling and beloved author Carmen Agra Deedy. 
  Sunrise Elementary School had a BIG problem. Their new librarian was a real Dragon!  
  When Miss Lotta Scales read an ad for a thick-skinned librarian with a burning love of books, she knew she was perfect for the job. After all, who could guard books better than a real dragon?  
  She took her job seriously: hundreds of new, clean books replaced the old, smudged ones. The thought of sticky little fingers touching and clutching her precious books made her hot under the collar! The principal tried to reason with her, and she singed his tie. The teachers sent a delegation, including sweet Miss Lemon, who told her “the library belongs to the children,” but they were all sent away scorched.  
  When nearsighted Molly Brickmeyer stumbled into the library looking for her glasses, she bumped into a shelf, and a book tumbled into her hands. As she began to read aloud, and the children came to listen, they came face to face with Miss Lotta Scales. Could a book read out loud temper the flames of the school’s hot-headed librarian?

  Francesca the Dragon

  This is the story 
  of Francesca the Dragon— 
  her winsome journeys 
  from familiar climes to foreign lands, 
  from alienation to acceptance, 
  from dejection to optimism, 
  as recited by 
  father to sleep-shirking son 
  at bedtime request. 
  Fourteen engaging illustrations 
  narrated via timeless florid prose 
  allow us to witness Francesca 
  as she seeks a home 
  befitting the truth of her 
  heart's immensity. 
  Raising a child can be daunting—especially if they sense ostracism. Sometimes things get better, and not just believing that but knowing it may foster sufficient intent to change their own narrative. This story illustrates that there can be a place in one’s life for mourning the past, the possibility that new horizons lie ahead and that one may eventually be accepted and appreciated as-is. 
  ~ On uncommon words (as this story has several) 
  Remarkably receptive to context clues, children grasp far more than we realize. That said, make an adventure of noting any unfamiliar and/or interesting words in advance of exploring a dictionary and thesaurus together.
