Who Loves The Dragon Blog Tour (review and giveaway)


I'm so excited to have the Who Loves The Dragon Blog Tour stopping by today! This tour is hosted and sponsored by The Children's Book Review...



Who Loves the Dragon? 
Written by Bianca Schulze 

Illustrated by Samara Hardy 


In this interactive follow-up to Don’t Wake the Dragon, our beloved Dragon is wide-awake and preparing to celebrate one of the kingdom’s most important events of the year: the annual Friendship Festival! It’s a time for everyone to gather and have fun, all honoring their meaningful friendships. But on the day of the feast, the cooks are called away to cater to the Queen and the knights must report for special duty in the Enchanted Forest. With everyone gone, Dragon is upset and worried that this year’s Friendship Festival is doomed. Could they be planning something special for her? And in the meantime, can you help cheer her up? With colorful and humorous illustrations throughout, this read-aloud picture book encourages kids to interact with the text on every page. Young readers will love waving to characters, blowing kisses, dancing, and more on this fun ride alongside Dragon and her adorable friends in this delightful story that will beg to be read again and again. 


Ages 3-6 | 32 Pages | Publisher: Clever Publishing | ISBN-13: 978-1951100438

The Friendship Festival is Dragon’s favorite day; a day she looks forward to all year...but this year, all her friends are too busy to celebrate. This makes Dragon sad. And a sad Dragon can lead to a fiery dragon. It’s up to readers to help cheer Dragon up...and maybe discover a fun surprise. 

 

Bianca Schulze follows up her awesome first picture book, Don’t Wake The Dragon, with the delightfully fun and imaginative Who Loves The Dragon?  

 

Every page of this picture book is bursting with dragon-sized laughs, overflowing heart, and creative interactive fun. Little readers will love waving to characters, blowing kisses, telling jokes, joining a dance party, and so much more, as they do their best to cheer Dragon up. Samara Hardy’s engaging and immersive illustrations, with their dreamy color palette full of lovely pinks and reds, lively and adorably rendered characters, and so many fun and clever details, perfectly capture the heartwarming and joyous soul of the story.  

 

While whimsically fun and giggle-inducingly silly, Who Loves The Dragon also offers a beautiful and timely message about kindness, friendship, and love which is sure to inspire and encourage little readers to spread all three wherever they go!  

 

Chock full of sweet charm, interactive fun, and so many belly laughs, this delightful tale will surely have little readers asking for it to be read again and again. Perfect for read-a-louds, especially this Valentine’s season, Who Loves The Dragon is utterly adorable from beginning to the very tip of its tail!

I Miss You Most Blog Tour (review and giveaway)


I'm thrilled to have the I Miss You Most Tour stopping by today! This tour is sponsored by Cassie Hoyt and hosted by The Children's Book Review...



I Miss You Most 

Written by Cassie Hoyt 

Illustrated by Stefanie St. Denis 


Publisher’s Synopsis: Love knows no distance. I Miss You Most helps children through the heartache of distance by showing them how to hold their loved ones near. Whether exploring the seas as pirates or twirling like ballerinas, imagination can bridge even the greatest distance. Because time with those you love is the most magical thing of all! 

Ages 3 and up | 28 Pages | Publisher: Tellwell Talent | ISBN-13: 978-0228836070 


Bookshop: https://bookshop.org/a/2078/9780228836070 




This last year, when we’ve had to quarantine in our homes and stay away from schools, work, family, and friends, we’ve discovered that distance can be really hard...especially on children. In I Miss You Most, author Cassie Hoyt explores the heartache of being away from the people we love and shows young readers how our imaginations can be the brightest and most fun tool to help when we miss people. 

 

Through catchy and emotive rhymes, Cassie Holt takes readers on an imaginative and heartfelt dance through the ways we miss people and how we can make it a little easier by remembering all the fun, meaningful things we did, can do, and will do when we are together again. Little readers will delight in the all the various and wildly fun activities the characters in the story do—from the comforting (cuddling, dancing together, and swimming) to the creatively exciting (pretending to be pirates, dino exlporers, and more).  

 

Illustrator, Stefanie St. Denis’ digital illustrations joyfully capture the emotions and fun of Holt’s rhymes. Each brightly colored page is full of diverse and expressive characters in captivating settings-- from a trip the land of dinosaurs, a jaunt on Mars, aboard a pirate ship, and more!  

 

With its heartfelt and comforting message, I Miss You Most is a timely and relevant picture book that will help ease the fears and anxieties of children, while encouraging and inspiring their imaginations!
