to go!
Charlie takes his pet dragon to the swimming pool, They establish three rules, which the dragon proceeds to break, If a character is going to be mischievous and inconvenience others with its inconsiderate behavior, it has to be darn cute or damn funny.
Rosie is neither.
Update :
AMAZON CONSPIRACY THEORY!!!!! THE FIX IS IN FOR THE GOODREADS CHOICE AWARDS!!!!
sitelinkPirates Don't Go to Kindergarten! was the the third lackluster book from the publisher Two Lions that I had read in three days during my Goodreads Awards project.
I'd never heard of this publisher before, so I started wondering how they came out of nowhere to have not even three but SIX nominees in the opening round.
A close look at the verso page revealed Two Lions is an Amazon company, And with ath book from Amazon Crossing Kids in the Picture Book nominees, that means somehow, magically, Amazon the owner of Goodreads managed to capture nearly half the slots in the opening round.
What a coincidence!
A quick look at the other categories seems to show that Amazon is not dominating those in the same way, but this still seems pretty darn sketchy.
Another good thing tainted
I recommend everyone do writeins for this category and try to push out the Two Lions books.
I recommend sitelinkPrincess Puffybottom and Darryl or sitelinkDandy, Fun, bright, inclusive representation, and goofy hijinks make this book a great addition to summer or petthemed storytime.
I love that Charlie helps Rosie learn, but is never angry or upset with her, I
only wish for a slightly more complete story arc, It felt like it ended a little abruptly and I wish they would have tried to help clean up the mess they made, but overall I really enjoyed it.
This book is just ok for me and I'm really not sure how it became a Goodreads choice award contender.
I have never even heard of it as a children's librarian who is always looking for new picturebooks.
The art is cute, but busy, The storyline is forgettable. Besties Charlie and Rosie do everything together! BUT, Rosie's a dragon! A BIG pink and purple dragon! And it's not easy to take a dragon to the local swimming pool.
Things take a few twists and turns and the day doesn't go according to plan, . . Colorful and energetic art by Nate Wragg and Lauren Kerstein's fun and fabulous text keeps the reader on the edge of his/her seat! Perfect reading for a summer day.
. . order your copy today! After reading this book to my four year old, he said "I really like this book.
" Four from him.
I thought the book was cute and silly, and the illustrations vibrant and adorable,
I assumed the book would be about pool safety and rules, But then Rosie seems to make mistakes that I'm not sure I want my four year old to absorb as proper pool etiquette.
Although I do feel it was a very cute message at the end,
However maybe I am just caught up in my expectations of how I want my kids to read or watch things that are not just entertaining, but educational.
Because of this I look for lessons that might be learned from a source, I'm unsure if I'm thinking to hard about it in regards to this book,
I would rate this book a three and a half as it's a perfect summer book that my kid enjoyed, and while I wish there was more emphasis on pool safety and possibly consequences when those rules are broken, I felt it was still cute and worth the read.
Charlie and his pet dragon, Rosie, are headed to the pool, Rosie wants to practice swimming, But things at the pool don't go quite as Charlie planned, Rosie's bubbles soak everyone, her kicks cause waves, and she's not so good at sharing toys, With Charlie's help, will Rosie find success at the pool Or will her stinky dragon breath send everyone running This is a great read for any child who loves to swim or is learning how to swim.
Part "how to swim" manual, part "how to train your dragon" manual, young readers will love getting to know Rosie and Charlie.
“I didnt plan to adopt a dragon, but Rosie found me irresistible, I think she liked my skunk hat, ”
Its not easy when you have a dragon as a pet, There are so many problems that can arise, Dragons are sometimes rude without realizing it, Today, they are heading to the pool, Since their last pool outing didnt go so well, Charlie has to make sure they are completely prepared this time.
