In the heart of the city, among the taxis and towers, a small boy travels uptown and down, searching for his friend. Readers will certainly spot the glorious beast, plus an array of big-city icons they can count. Is the Is dragon taking the crosstown bus, or breathing his fiery breath below a busy street? Maybe he took a taxi to the zoo or is playing with the dogs in the park. Steve Light’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations, decorated with meticulous splashes of color, elevate this counting book (numbers 1–20) to new heights. Maybe the dragon is up there, too!The above images and descriptions are from Amazon.com
Literacy Extenders:
- As you read the dragon book, count each item that is illustrated in color....This will be great practice for kids to go from counting to 10 to counting to 20.
- Ask them what color is on the page, the illustrations are black and white with one item on each page highlighted in color. Once they identify the color ask them what other items on that page could also be that color.
- As you read the bear book, after each page identifies the color, stop and ask your child what they see in their immediate surroundings that is also that color.
