Brambleheart: A Story About Finding Treasure and the Unexpected Magic of Friendship

(4) 4-6 Inept chipmunk Twig worries he won't receive a worthy job assignment at the upcoming Naming Ceremony. When a newly hatched dragon imprints on him, the extraordinary event brings him new purpose and success. Cole's soft black-and-white pencil illustrations complement the text, evoking Twig's simple, wondrous experience of nature, friendship, and growing up. Though twee, this story has classic animal-fantasy appeal.
