BOO THE NOT-SO-SCARY DRAGON is a heartwarming, funny, and fully illustrated children's picture book about a misunderstood little dragon who looks spooky on the outside... but is the sweetest friend anyone could ever meet. With adorable artwork on every page, expressive characters, and a message about embracing what makes you different, this story is perfect for ages 3-8 and ideal for bedtime, classroom read-alouds, and early readers. Boo might look like the scariest dragon in the forest-with his bony mask, big dark eyes, and smoky wings decorated with little skull shapes (page 5). But the truth is simple: Boo isn't scary at all.He just wants a friend. Unfortunately... his spooky appearance keeps getting in the way. Boo tries making friends with the Fire Dragons, but their blazing flames nearly roast his tiny bones (pages 8-9). He tries visiting the Flower Fairies, but they start sneezing the moment he gets close-"Too much spooky!" (pages 10-11). Feeling discouraged, he approaches the Forest Critters, only for them to faint the moment he smiles (pages 12-13). Boo's heart sinks as he wonders if he's simply "too... Boo" for anyone to want him (page 15). Then-rustle, rustle-something unexpected happens. Out from the bushes pops the strangest, silliest, most wonderfully weird little group of creatures Boo has ever seen (page 17). A fuzzy spider-bunny, a smiling ghost-puff, a bright-eyed bat, and other oddball critters stare at him... and then stare some more (page 18). Boo fears they'll run away like everyone else. But instead, the ghost-puff giggles, "You look AWESOME!" (page 19) The bat squeaks, "Your wings are spooky-cool!" (page 20) And the spider-bunny chirps, "And your bones are shiny!" (page 21) For the first time in his life, Boo hears the words he's been waiting for: "We LOVE weird!" (page 23)Because being different doesn't make you scary-it makes you special.
