Amy Wu and the Patchwork Dragon

Amy is listening to a story her teacher is reading about dragons with her class, and the children become wild for dragons. Amy's teacher gives the children time to make dragons, and Amy is delighted with her dragon with a long, thin body and horns like a stag and claws like an eagle, but the other children don't think that's what a dragon looks like. Amy sets them straight with her family's help, and we all learn a little more about the dragons of the world.

Lots of lovely themes in this book to share with children.

Amy Wu draws her own dragon to share with the class, but it is not the same as everyone else's and she feels shy and unsure how to describe eastern style dragons (the class all draws/reads about western style dragons) she has some friends home and a relative helps them create a new dragon to share with the class the next day! Nice read about working together and introduction about different dragon types with activity in the back of the book.
