2018 school visit swag is here! #gregpizzoli #gavemethispencil (at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

As we all know, I love a little subversiveness and a lot of silly in my picture books, so it's no wonder that "Dragon Was Terrible" (2016) by Kelly DiPucchio and Greg Pizzoli was a huge hit around here. It hits all the right notes: a ridiculously badly behaved dragon (he burps in church and terrorises fluffy ducklings, for heaven's sake!), wonderful language usage that doesn't condescend to kids, and a little kid protagonist who in classic fairytale style uses his brain to get the better of the dragon. A great giggly read-aloud! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #dragonwasterrible #kellydipucchio #gregpizzoli #naughtydragon #bookdragon #dragonbook #cleverkids #bookishlife #newbooks #whattoread #picturebook #readaloudbooks #kidsbookswelove #kidsbookstagram #mindfulparenting #bookhaul #kidsbookshelf #fracturedfairytales #funnykidsbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3-YULBH0rt/?igshid=1hz7e1alozrmb

Seriously? He tears his whole house apart and then is just cool with going to bed since he found out what the noise was? I was very frustrated with this book. The kids thought it was funny, though, so I will give it that. I guess it’s the randomness of it that draws kids in, because they were laughing the whole time.

Finally got some face time with the Big Guy. #thetwelvedaysofthetwelvedaysofchristmas #booktour #santa#gregpizzoli (at Santa's Workshop)
