A 4-year Old Boy Comments on Danny the Dragon!

Here’s a fun message from a mom that had attended a book reading of Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy with her 2 young boys: “Morning Tina, I was driving the boys to school this morning and Bodhi (my 4 yr-old) said, “mommy, did you know that dinosaurs don’t have boots?” Then about a minute later he said, “not like Danny the Dragon; he does have boots. Dragons does have boots”. Love it!”

I have a lovely message that I would like to share.

Danny the Dragon, Tampa Bay Rays and the Pinellas Park Library

The Tampa Bay Rays promotes and supports reading programs, games and activities for the kids with many Libraries. I was invited to do a Question and Answer period, read my book Danny the Dragon and do an activity time to a group of 97. This was exciting. You can bet the day was good and hot outside those doors in Florida. Inside everyone was cool, wide awake and full of excitement. I like to ensure I do readings after lunch time and even after naps for the littler ones. These kids ranged from infant to about 13. They loved Danny and …
