Georgie is afraid of the night - and the dragon is afraid of the knight! Together they go on a nighttime journey, sailing over a carnival, a city, and a baseball game, until they finally examine their fears and help each other understand them better. In daylight, the dragon is too big to hide, but still is scared to go back into his book and face the knight, so Georgie draws a new book for him to go into.

Sometimes, you just need to write a new story.

Illustrations are brush, pen, and ink on cotton rag paper with digital color, predominantly navy blue, orange, and yellow, providing a clean, retro look (see also: Harry and Horsie by Katie Van Camp, illustrated by Lincoln Agnew).… (mehr)

J. R. Krause did a good job of describing the way a small child feels when they have reached the age that they have to face their fear of the dark and bullies. His use of the dragon to illustrate this last fear was quite brilliant in my opinion. what better way to make a child feel less self-conscious about being afraid than to show them a dragon that is also afraid. This also lends confidence when it is the boy who helps the giant dragon to find a way to solve its problem. In the end, it is their mutual respect for each other that allows them to overcome their fears. We could learn a thing or two from this story.… (mehr)

In my opinion I love this book because it is bilingual in the text and helps students understand the concept of heeding someones warning. I enjoyed how the story is bilingual because it gives the reader the same experiences that an English Language Learner has when introduced to new words. A helpful part about this story is that it defines the terms used and makes them stand out from the other text so it is easier to identify. In addition, the labels used in some of the pictures are on familiar objects so the reader can more readily connect the word in Spanish to that of English. I also loved how the story used animals to tell a message. This is a fun way to teach a lesson to students without overwhelming them with big words that may be confusing. By using animals and illustrations that connect to the reading, it helps with the comprehension process. The big idea or message being displayed is that you need to listen to a friend's warnings because sometimes they might just be right. If you do not listen to the weather lady or man in the morning you may end up soaked on the way home or cold because you don't have a jacket. Likewise, this story is depicting how the friends should have had lunch inside.… (mehr)

In my opinion, the book "Poco Loco" is a great book for young readers. The first thing that I really liked about the book was that it had a glossary of Spanish words in the beginning which included all of the words being used in the book. It also includes how to spell the word, sound it out, and the definition of the word which can help students if they can't figure out what a word means during reading. I also really liked that this book had a graphic novel feel. The illustrations were very bold, done in a collage form, have a lot of dimension, and are very detailed. I also liked that there is text in different places on each page so that the text flows with the illustration. The text also includes Spanish words mixed in with the English sentences so that the reader an decipher the Spanish word while reading based on the illustrations and context clues. The big idea of this story was about a small mouse who saves the day and to introduce some basic Spanish vocabulary.… (mehr)
