Overview

BOO THE NOT-SO-SCARY DRAGON is a heartwarming, funny, and fully illustrated children's picture book about a misunderstood little dragon who looks spooky on the outside... but is the sweetest friend anyone could ever meet. With adorable artwork on every page, expressive characters, and a message about embracing what makes you different, this story is perfect for ages 3-8 and ideal for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and early readers. Boo might look like the scariest dragon in the forest-with his bony mask, big dark eyes, and smoky wings decorated with little skull shapes (page 5). But the truth is simple: Boo isn't scary at all. He just wants a friend. Unfortunately... his spooky appearance keeps getting in the way. Boo tries making friends with the Fire Dragons, but their blazing flames nearly roast his tiny bones (pages 8-9). He tries visiting the Flower Fairies, but they start sneezing the moment he gets close-""Too much spooky!"" (pages 10-11). Feeling discouraged, he approaches the Forest Critters, only for them to faint the moment he smiles (pages 12-13). Boo's heart sinks as he wonders if he's simply ""too... Boo"" for anyone to want him (page 15). Then-rustle, rustle-something unexpected happens. Out from the bushes pops the strangest, silliest, most wonderfully weird little group of creatures Boo has ever seen (page 17). A fuzzy spider-bunny, a smiling ghost-puff, a bright-eyed bat, and other oddball critters stare at him... and then stare some more (page 18). Boo fears they'll run away like everyone else. But instead, the ghost-puff giggles, ""You look AWESOME!"" (page 19) The bat squeaks, ""Your wings are spooky-cool!"" (page 20) And the spider-bunny chirps, ""And your bones are shiny!"" (page 21) For the first time in his life, Boo hears the words he's been waiting for: ""We LOVE weird!"" (page 23) Because being different doesn't make you scary-it makes you special. Told through warm humor, charming characters, and cinematic illustrations, BOO THE NOT-SO-SCARY DRAGON teaches children that: - Being unique is something to celebrate - You don't need to change who you are to find real friends - There is a perfect place for every kind of kid-quiet ones, silly ones, shy ones, and wonderfully weird ones This book overflows with visual delight, from glowing fairy scenes to fiery dragon caverns to Boo's adorable ""too spooky"" expressions, all captured in vibrant, fully illustrated pages that children will want to explore again and again.
