Aunt Betty says
Funny- hilarious! It has so much energy and excitement for a young reader to intertwine with throughout the story. Each page gave way for even reluctant readers to use their imagination and enjoy. The children I read this to were so anxious to find out what each new page had in store and they were not disappointed. The illustrations and using a dragon character were perfect for K-3rd graders. A great family read and personal favorite!

My Aunt Betty has been an elementary school librarian for 24 years. This is not surprising because she loves kids and kids appreciate her enthusiasm. It is because of her that I enjoy a close relationship with my 7 cousins (later, 9). She always had all of us over for sleepovers and other outings. All 9 of us would cram into her Rabbit for trips around town. You never see that anymore
I asked around for words to describe Aunt Betty and these are the words that came back the most…Happy, Caring, and Thoughtful. As for me, my top three choices are Fun, Kind, and Full of Life.

Every month I pass on books I’ve read and you help me clear off my bookshelves. For November I’m offering free books, but only if you vote in the Presidential election on Tuesday. Since some states have early voting and some have voted absentee (like me) so I will start offering the free books today.
