What do you do when you and your brother have different interests but still want to spend the day together? Dragons Blue and Green set off on a series of comical misadventures. After risky jellyfish encounters and allergic red spots from dandelions, they begin to understand that love and respect for one another may be what matters most.

Readers Views:
Raven Howell has written a tale with a strong storyline that's wonderful for early and pre-
readers. While each of the dragons may have tried to manipulate his brother at the beginning,
both Green and Blue recognize their mistakes and make amends, creating an easy moral lesson
for children to understand.
In my opinion, there are three reasons why parents (and teachers and librarians!) of young
children will want to add A Day with the Dragons to their libraries:
• A delightfully entertaining storyline that includes an age-appropriate message
• Stunning illustrations that hold attention and allow creativity to soar
• DRAGONS!

Efobi Reviews:
Raven Howell clearly understands something about children that many writers miss: they are not waiting to be taught. They are waiting to be met.

“Dragons, dandelions, jellyfish and sibling squabbles — a funny, heartwarming adventure with a lovely lesson about love, respect and getting along.”
