When A Dragon Moves In is a story about a boy who builds the perfect sandcastle for a dragon to live in. Just his luck, a dragon decides to move in, and that’s where the fun starts! This is a great story about friendship, imagination, and families. The text is wonderful and the art is gorgeous, plus it’s the perfect antidote to snowy winter weather! You can curl up with this book and imagine that you’re at the beach, building your own perfect sandcastle that a dragon just might decide to move in to. And that’s where the fun starts …

Today is World Read Aloud Day and a stormy day in some parts of the country. Celebrate by staying inside where it's warm and dry and reading a picture book, like When A Dragon Moves In. Or read an old favorite on your shelves and enter to win a copy of Dragon!
Why am I posting about first books this month? If you're an author or illustrator of books, you know the anticipation of seeing your book in print. You prepare for the day it releases and want to shout about it to the world because you’re so excited! Unfortunately, Bridget Zinn isn’t here to celebrate the release of her first novel, so authors and illustrators are celebrating for her. Learn more about Bridget and her novel Poison on her website. On March 27th, I’ll talk about Bridget’s book and give a copy away to a lucky reader! For Bridget's blog tour schedule, click here.

It really is adorable! You're entered, Rena :)
DeleteI just found your blog through Dani Duck. I love When a Dragon Moves In and have read it outloud to many kids, but I always use a library copy, so I must enter for my own signed copy. I've enjoyed looking through your blog, too, and look forward to being introduced to new stories. My most recent favorite picture book is The Blizzard's Robe by Robert Sabuda. Not in his usual pop up style, it's an Arctic legend illustrated with batik prints. Amazing!
ReplyDeleteJoy, Thanks for stopping by and telling me about Robert Sabuda's book! I'm not familiar with that one, but am looking forward to reading it and seeing the art. Your name is going into the hat two times. :)
