BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL

APPEALS TO: SOME

A girl looks forward to a comfy day indoors when she discovers that it is raining.  She settles down to read when her doorbell rings.  A dragon is at the door and he needs to use the bathroom.  The girl's bathroom is too small.  Where do dragons go to the bathroom anyway?

This book has a very strange plot but the watercolor pictures are very beautiful.  I was put off by pictures of the girl in the story sitting on the toilet and the dragon urinating.  I did not enjoy this book but I know that children who enjoy potty humor might. 

The girl is presumably white.
