The Saffron Kingdom's dragon problem is about to start multiplying. Good thing Magellan is getting extra math lessons!
I read this with my 8 and 4 year olds. They both really enjoyed the story and, even though it took us a long time to get through, each chapter kept their interest. My oldest thought the ending was a little sad, but loved the story overall.
Book 3 of Laurel Decher's Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tale series is another wonderful read. Funny, delightful, and whimsical story of two royal siblings who learn what leadership requires. Smiles for readers of all ages who will relate with the troubles these two face in doing what must be done - whether it's learning multiplication tables or utilizing archery skills!
I'm the author of this book. I think my favorite part about writing this book was Magellan and the dragons and maybe the magical Laughing Lake. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!
