The Dear Dragon series is made up of several books that are easy readers. They use site vocabulary that is printed in the back of the book. It reminds me of the books I learned to read with. This particular book in the series deals with summer, especially the Fourth of July or Canada Day. The boy and his dragon go to the beach where they play in the sand and with friends, have a picnic and even watch the fireworks. It is a bilingual book written in both English and Spanish.

These Beginning-to-Read books capture the imaginations of beginning readers and help them on their way to independent reading. At the back of the book they list the vocabulary as well as tips for helping your child develop reading fluency. These books could also be read aloud to young children who are not able to read yet. A great addition to a family library or a primary classroom.
