Grow a Reader!<\/p>\n<p>This series is part of Scholastic&#8217;s early reader line, Acorn, aimed at children who are learning to read. With easy-to-read text, a short-story format, plenty of humor, and full-color artwork on every page, these books will boost reading confidence and fluency. Acorn books plant a love of reading and help readers grow! <\/p>\n<p>Lonely Dragon has made a friend, and he loves spending time with his new buddy! He enjoys telling scary stories, cracking funny jokes, and fixing a midnight snack for them to share. But when his friend appears to be ill, Dragon demonstrates what it means to be a true friend. In this warmhearted friendship story of love and loss, Dav Pilkey has created a lovable hero that everyone will cheer for! <\/p>\n<p><strong>{My thoughts} \u2013 <\/strong> This is a fun little reader story about a dragon that really wants a friend. Dragon is sitting under a apple tree and an apple falls onto his head. A nearby snake wants to play a joke and talks to dragon. Dragon thinks it is the apple. <\/p>\n<p>There are five short chapters within this book all about Dragon and his friend Apple. I really like how imagination comes out in this book. I also like how simple and easy it is for younger readers to read and understand. <\/p>\n<p>The story within this book is illustrated with bright and cartoonist illustrations. The text and the illustrations go together really nicely and tell a wonderful story for those beginning to read more books. <\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy these beginner books for children and are enjoying having the opportunity to read and review them. I look forward to reading more of these stories and books in the near future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Final Conclusion:<\/strong> 5 Star Rating. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"114\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-9555\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature-300x114.png 300w, http:\/\/www.zapkodemarie.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/signature.png 329w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{Synopsis} \u2013 Pick a book.
