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.

This sounds like a great kids book. While my son is 11 now, he brought books like this home all the time when he was younger for his AR Program at school. This is one he probably read or would have loved.
