The Popcorn Dragon


This story is about a young dragon that learns to blow smoke. He runs around blowing smoke around all the other animals and makes them mad. They tell him to stop showing off but he cannot. The other animals tell him that he cannot play with them anymore. He gets sad and goes by himself into a cornfield. He finds out that his hot smoke makes the corn into popcorn. He makes popcorn for his friends and they all get along again.
I didn't like this story very much. I would not use it in my classroom. The moral of the story is too predictable and doesn't teach very much. I do like the pictures though. The story is generic and the author doesn't use very clever language so the result is that the story is a little boring. The end is a little original but I didn't even want to read that far.
