BUYING ADVISORY: PRE-K, EL (K-3) - OPTIONAL
APPEALS TO: SOME
When a story writing elf discovers a sleepy dragon, he offers to write The Greatest Bedtime Story ever (in lieu of being the dragon's bedtime snack). So the elf begins to spin his tale, but can it meet the demanding dragon's expectations?
I liked the premise; I also enjoyed the illustrations, especially the pages where the elf is explaining all the emotions the dragon felt hearing the story. However, there's a twist that made the story so disappointing, and I understand the humor of it, but will a child? It made this review difficult to write without providing a spoiler, so please excuse my vagueness. It's not as nice a read when you already know the ending.
