George has an unusual pet - a dragon called Joe. Joe is an angry dragon who throws temper tantrums when things go wrong. One day, while playing with their toys, George broke one of Joe's favorite toys. Joe loses his temper and George tries to help him understand that he shouldn't get angry. Throughout the day, George continues helping Joe to overcome his anger and see that patience is good, greed is bad. Joe soon comes to understand that and peace reigns in the household. The Angry Dragon by Michael Gordon is a great book for kids. The first thing that struck me was the color; it stands out with lots of bright and cheerful colors in the excellent illustrations that go along with the story. The second was the fact that it is written in rhyme and in nice-sized, easy to read print benefiting both children and the adults reading with them. The story is a simple one but carries a powerful message about how to behave and how not to behave. It teaches that anger doesn't solve anything and that there is always another way to deal with situations, especially where the temper arises as a result of not getting what they want. I thought this was well written and to the point, although I thought that George perhaps acted a bit more grown-up than his age suggested. Overall, a good story, great for younger children to start learning right from wrong.

The first thing the young reader will see is a page with some blank lines preceded by the words "This Book Belongs To." I think this is a good idea that encourages the idea of ownership. Then we can move on to the idea of sharing what we own. My Kindle download presents two facing pages at a time. The left-hand page has the story set out in two-line phrases. The first two lines rhyme with the second two; the third two lines rhyme with the fourth two. The right-hand page is an illustration drawn in a "comic" style with vivid, eye-catching contrasting colors and content that encourages vocabulary learning. This story has three distinct and short messages. 1) Being angry with one another when an accident happens is a waste of time; it is better to talk it out. 2) Not all time is play time. Sometimes we need to help our parents and our friends should understand this and not be angry at having to wait. 3) Overeating favorite foods can make for an un
