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 is a reissue of the earlier book with updated illustrations.

This particular book in the series deals a new baby being brought home. Dragon is jealous that the baby is getting so much attention. When he is shown that he can do things for the baby he is happy. He is also assured that he and the boy will still play and have fun together. Simple repetitive words will help the beginning reader to develop confidence and if there is a new baby in the house, it is a story they will be able to identify with.

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.

This book is a very good beginning to read book with colorful pictures and a clear message. The repetition and site words will help to reinforce the child's learning to read.

This will be a really good book for someone with a new baby in the house. It reminds tham that not only are they still important to mom and dad, but that they are also important to the new baby.
