Dragon Night by J.R. Krause - ESSENTIAL


Dragon Night by J.R. Krause.  PICTURE BOOK G.P. Putnam’s Sons (Penguin), 2019.  $17.  9780525514244  

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) – ESSENTIAL  

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH  

One night as Georgie is laying in bed, scared of the dark night, his favorite book (St. George and the Dragon) flies open and a dragon steps out.  The dragon is scared of the knight from his book and together Georgie and the dragon fly around trying to get away from their fears.  Eventually, the two realize that they are afraid of two different kinds of night/knight and they help each other overcome their fears.  

This book is fantastic.  I love the illustrations and the sweet relationship between Georgie and the dragon.  The play on the homophones is fun and this makes for a great bedtime read.
