After the opportunity to review the first “The Dragon and The Turtle” book, my 2 oldest boys asked if there were anymore Dragon and Turtle books? I told them I wasn’t sure if there would be anymore yet. Then I found out about “The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari” by Donita K. Paul and Evangeline Denmark from Blogging for Books review program.
My kids were eager to read the newest book. This is lovely because it’s usually like pulling teeth to get them interested in a book. I read it to them before bed last night. All three (my toddler included) huddled around me to see the beautiful illustrations and the fun story. The Dragon and The Turtle books are centered around being a good friend. There are also a couple other morales and lessons tucked away in the book. They even offer questions and suggestions to interact with your child about the book once they heard the story.
The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari is a great story about how far your imagination can take you. It also has those great little moments in there about being a true friend.
I think The Dragon and The Turtle Go on Safari would also make a great classroom book that could have a couple of project ideas centered around it. This could also be a fun book to get your child’s imagination going.

Yes it’s me. I can’t have a handmade giveaway and not give one of my readers something from my own shop. One FFCM readers will win a wax dip bear in their choice of scents available in my shop. I make wax dip bears, jar candles, and melting tarts using soy wax. I try to keep my business as green as possible by reusing boxes, packing material, and whatever I can to ship my products. Wax dip bears work similar to a room air freshener. Sit one of these guys on their provided glass plate on a dresser in a bedroom, on your mantle, kitchen counter or wherever you’d like to add some fragrance. Fragrance without the flame. Scent will generally last about 30 days. After 30 days you can refresh the scent by running a hair dryer over them for about 30 seconds.
