This is a story about a young girl named Birdie. She loves origami. This time, Birdie comes to the craft store and chooses one particular craft paper for the origami. She plans to make a dragon. She takes her time creating her dragon and to her surprise, the paper dragon comes to life. He calls himself Brynic. Brynic, the paper dragon, begins to tell Birdie his story from a hundred years ago. A story about how a majestic dragon becomes a common craft paper. This book is based on mythology about the dragon tree and I love it. This is a good story that not only entertains children but also gives them the knowledge about the mythology. This book comes with great illustrations and it is interactive. It provides the reader the instructions to fold their origami dragon. I am sure children are going to love this! At the end of the book, the author gives a background story of the myth about the dragon tree which is wonderful. While the children can read the story on their own, for that particular part, I think they need help from an adult to read them. I love to include this book in my curriculum. The students will love the story and enjoy the time to make origami while learning about mythology. Such a perfect book. -eBookFairs
