Dragon Flight by Jessica Day George

In this sequel to Dragon Slippers, we find Creel working as a seamstress when she receives word of a bordering country's intention to invade with an army of dragons. With this news, Creel is launched into a situation calling for all her wit, talent, and courage. With the help of her friends Marta, Prince Luka, and some assorted dragons, a frightening enemy is challenged. Will she succeed? To continue Creel's adventure, read Dragon Flight!

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first. Part of what I loved about Dragon Slippers was the fun orginiality of the plot and the lush descriptions and focus on Creel's artisitic ability as a seamstress. Dragon Flight was more predictable and had less satisfying character and plot development. However, fans of the first book will enjoy finding out more about Creel's adventures and some of the conclusions from the first book that are included.

Review: The House with Nobody in It

The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book. The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story. This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
