Jane and the Dragon
Three's a Crowd: Jane and the Dragon
As seen on TV! A new fast-paced fairy tale starring a feisty knight-in-training and the dragon friend she joins on daring adventures.
What’s so funny about playing dung wars? What’s so side-splitting about armpit farts? Jane just doesn’t get it. But Dragon and Gunther, Jane’s fellow knight-in training, think it’s all hilarious and are fast becoming the best of friends. Maybe it’s time for Jane to ask Jester to give her a crash course on crass humor!

Can't go wrong with Jane and the Dragon, right?
April 28, 2015
This was an easy read, but it was not my favorite. It was kind of boring because it did not have a well-developed plot. However, it would be good to teach students to read because it was a short novel, and there were pictures; it is a good transition from picture books to novels. Also, it teaches students that it is okay for people to have more than one friend. This novel teaches great lessons about friendship. It was not my favorite book, but it would have great uses in the classroom.

A fun series to introduce chapter books to your little mighty girl, not that boys wouldn't enjoy it as well. What's not to love about dragons?
