When a Dragon Moves In

32 pp. | Flashlight | May, 2011 | Trade ISBN 978-0-979974-67-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Howard McWilliam. A dragon moves into a boy's "perfect sandcastle," but his family doesn't believe him. The roaring they hear is waves crashing, the dragon's feather is from a seagull, and its teeth "are just broken shells." While the concept certainly isn't original, the digital illustrations do a good job extending the humor of the situation.
