5 Stars

“The Bakery Dragon” is a great read-aloud for kids who enjoy whimsy and mythical creatures. The illustrations are beautiful, and I loved that it gave a little twist on dragons while giving subtle lessons on kindness. Ember is not quite like other dragons. He worries he won’t be able to get a horde of gold because of it. When caught in a storm in the village, he discovers that making “gold” and sharing it is the best. Maybe even better than stealing the gold!
