There Was An Old Dragon Who Swallowed a Knight by Penny Parker Klostermann

And another THING swallowing SOMETHING.....I admit it, I love these books.  And more importantly, the kids love these books.  Obviously this one has the dragon theme and the dragon is swallowing things such as, castle, squire, fire, etc.  It is always a surprise to see how the story ends. Anxious to get this one in and see what the kids think.

The Perfect Percival Priggs by Julie-Anne Graham

Percival Priggs was perfect.  Everyone around him, including his pets, were perfect.  Percy continued to work hard to be perfect because he did not want his parents to love him any less.  Everything was perfect, until one day when it was no longer perfect.  Suddenly Percy was no longer perfect and he learned that his parents were not either.  Percy learned that sometimes you have to try again and again, and that is ok.  A perfect, errrr, book for those kiddos that struggle with the idea of being perfect all the time.
