These branches are designed to support home learners to access literature-based learning using a selection of books we love from Writing Roots. Many Hamilton units come with interactive Grammar Presentations integrated into the overall teaching and textual context. George befriends the dragons, but soon, they become more than he can handle, and George must handle it on his own.

However, I ended up really enjoying this book because of the underlying message that I picked up from it: it's okay to be different and love other people because they are different. Helen Ward won the first Walker Prize for Children’s Illustration and twice won the British National Art Library Award. His diligence in finding a way to send the dragons home is fantastical yet told in ordinary language, as if routine and unremarkable, much like George feels. Dragons were not wanted to be noticed so George built a giant dragon machine that he flew and led to the land they belong to and can be noticed. Yesterday a parent came over to tell me how impressed she was by the book fair and that you did a fabulous job of selling the books to the children first.You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! I also think young children will enjoy looking for the dragons on each page as they follow George around and cause trouble for him. A child's imagination is the gateway to magic and freedom in this beautiful story from the creators of The Tin Forest. And George continues using his imagination when he notices something unusual about his dog - the dog's tail is a dragon's tail. I was at my last school for 4 years and we had ********* book fairs every term – and every term, I was disappointed by the narrow range of books.

I'd recommend it for ages 3 and up as the muted colors don't hold an infant's attention well and some ability to connect words with pictures will help them enjoy the book more. I have even talked the head into a little revamp of the library so that we can display them properly!You can also watch our Storytime playlistonYouTube read by the likes of Ore Oduba, Adam Buxton, Fearne Cotton and many more.
