Un Dragón a Dieta

Carles Cano, Illustraded by Fran Bravo
Editorial Everest, S.A., 30 pg., Picture Book

Dragon is so big, one day, finally he decides to go on a diet. He set out fine linen, fine china, and of course his best silver set. All the fan fare to eat just one olive, and of course, he eats it whole, with pit and all. A few minutes latter he has the worst tummy ache he has ever had. He calls the doctor who comes as soon as possible and a whole set of events happen. This is the cutest and funny book I read in a while. The whole family will enjoy it!

Este dragón es tan grande que  un día decide ponerse a dieta. Cubre la mesa con mantel de lino fino, pone su loza fina, y por supuesto sus cubiertos de plata. Toda la fanfarronada para comer solo una aceituna, y por supuesto se la come de un bocado, con pepa y todo. En unos minutos, se retuerce del peor dolor de estomago que ha  tenido en su vida. Llama al doctor, el cual viene tan pronto como puede y comienza a pasar una serie de increíble acontecimientos. Este es uno de los mas curiosos y chistosos libros que he leído en buen tiempo . ¡¡Le gustará a toda la familia!!

Review: Faker

Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam.

Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into.

As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...

Dragon Run

By
