| My Musings: | |
| I didn't know exactly what to expect when I started reading this, but really appreciated how well it explained the various things you can do at a library. It's also explained in a fun, rhyming way that young kids will easily understand.
The illustrations are really colorful and varied, which I thought was lovely. Not only are there different dragons, but the people/children are different as well. One in particular that stood out to my son (3.5) was of a boy in a wheelchair looking at some books. My son excited pointed out the "Little boy in the train car" and asked me why he was "riding" it. It was a nice teaching moment about wheelchairs, but still subtle enough that it was obvious how that boy was just like the other kids. :) This was whimsical, but educational, and is definitely a story we'll be reading again! | |

| About the Author: Andy Elkerton | |
| After three years studying illustration at Art College, Andy suddenly found himself working in the computer games industry; at a time when computers and consoles were little more than dancing calculators! In 2003, after fifteen years as a games artist, he went back to his illustrative roots and tried his hand at becoming a children's book illustrator. Luckily his hand seemed pretty good at it, and since then he has worked in the fields of picture books, ELT, advertising, television, and character design. His long list of clients includes Usborne Publishing, Franklin Watts, OUP, Scholastic, Hachette, MacMillan, Dreamworks, Ferrero-Kinder, Nestle, Hit Entertainment, and Hasbro. He has also been nominated twice in the prestigious Language Learner Literature Awards.
Andy likes doing pictures that are bright, colourful, and imaginative. Oh, and Monsters...he likes doing Monsters! He currently lives in the town of Oban, on the West coast of Scotland, with his wife and three "test subjects" (little kids). |
