Title Dear Dragon Series --- Author Josh Funk Illustrated By Podolfo Montalvo Publisher Viking Books - 2016 First Printing Viking Books - 2016 Category Children Warnings None Main Characters George, Blaise Main Elements Dragons

A sweet and clever friendship story in rhyme, about looking past physical differences to appreciate the person (or dragon) underneath.

George and Blaise are pen pals, and they write letters to each other about everything: their pets, birthdays, favorite sports, and science fair projects. There’s just one thing that the two friends don’t know: George is a human, while Blaise is a dragon! What will happen when these pen pals finally meet face-to-face?

I really loved this book in rhyme. A young boy and a dragon become pen pals, they each describe the things they do on a daily basis, but not knowing that their friend is a diffrent species, they get some weird ideas about the other person. Like George makes a fort out of cardboard but Blaise pictures something more like a castle. Blaise's father won a contest for firebreathing so George pictures Blaise's father as some kind of street performer. And fun tale of miscommunications, of differeing point of views, and of seeing past what someone looks like on the outside, that you can become friends with anyone, no matter who (or what) they are.
