The Reluctant Dragon | Kenneth Grahame

pick

Interesting little story of a poet dragon. The dragon is a bit of a dramatic personality as well. It‘s a fun little story. Some of the vocabulary makes me question who these children are who would understand some of these words, but overall worth the read. It seemed to be over just as it was beginning.

TheBookHippie Right?! It cracked me up!! Little old souls! My son is like this so it made me smile !! 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I never know how odd that was - kids with big vocabularies - until I grew up. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I liked it, I just know several kids who probably would spend half the time asking “what does that mean?” 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie then again, the more you read stuff like this to kids, the more they learn to use context clues and the bigger their little vocabularies gets. So there is something to be said for stories like this for kids. 5y

TheBookHippie @GingerAntics I‘ve been reading classical literature out loud to the alternative schools for years and ESL kids. Hugely beneficial . 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie I can definitely see that. I think, classical literature, especially classic children‘s lit, are all about building vocabulary. 5y

GingerAntics @TheBookHippie are alternative schools different in your district than ours? Our alternative schools are for kids who get into trouble at regular schools. They don‘t even get recess or cutlery at lunch apparently. 5y
