Children's Book Review

The Dragon and the Turtle  by Donita K. Paul and Evangeline Denmark is a children's book about an unlikely friendship between a lost turtle and a kind dragon.  Their friendship begins when the dragon goes out of his way to help the poor turtle find his way back home after a pretend shipwreck got him off course.  My children, ages five, four, and two were all very interested in this book with its beautiful illustrations and storyline that touches the five senses of taste, hear, see, smell, and feel.  It was a fun book to read and kept our attention to the end.  In the end, we saw how the dragon was rewarded for his sacrifice and how a little kindness goes a long way.
