Dragons are the Worst by Alex Willan - ADVISABLE

Dragons are the Worst
by Alex Willan
. PICTURE BOOK Simon and Schuster, 2021. $18. 9781534485112

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

The little goblin is irritated because, although he has magical powers, no one fears him! But everyone seems to be afraid of Dragons -- and they are not "all that" anyway, too many teeth, can't eat ice cream because they breath fire, and so what if they can fly, so can pigeons. But when a group of knights approach in search of dragons, the little goblin has a surprise for them. 

The illustrations and the text are perfect together - and the sparkly cover is the best! I love the facial expressions on both the goblin and the dragons. The text is hilarious. A great stand alone, or perfect follow up to "Unicorns are the Worst"
