"Angry Dragon" - Free Choice/ Fiction


"Angry Dragon", written by Thierry Robberecht, is a very interesting fiction book. This boy describes a situation of a little boy who's mother told him no. Like many kids, he did not like to be told no and got very upset. He got so upset that he turned into a dragon. He would not listen to his parents, he destroyed anything in site and acted very bad. At the end of the story the little boy realizes that how he has acted is very inappropriate and feels very ashamed. He goes to his parents and apologizes. This book would be great for students in third grade to read. It shows a wonderful job of illustrating how the power of our emotions can sometimes tend to overwhelm us and transform us. It reminds us that we all have dragon in us, it is up to us if we let the dragon get angry.
