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.

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.

A good book to read during summer and prevent the summer slide.

I love these books. I wish I could use this one right before the Fourth of July, but I don't do summer school. The kids will read this one anyway.

Dear Dragon goes in a trip to the beach and oh the fun they have – sandcastles, swimming and fireworks. What a wonderful book to have children reading during the summer months. The new look is a nice plus
