This post reminds me of the many hours of my life, HUNDREDS of hours, that I have spent editing children’s writing. Imagine sitting at home, after a long day teaching and having to edit 30 stories, most of which have no plot and are chock-full of invented spelling and random punctuation. Yeah, fun. Thank goodness for summer vacation. I don’t have to see any invented spelling for another few weeks.
Jen, I am trying to find an email for you and I don’t see it…it’s probably right under my nose. Can you please email me? I have a blog-related question to ask you.

Margaret: It’s kind of like those old fables, “How the Elephant Got His Trunk,” except “How the Dragon Got His Bright Smile.”
Sarah: Well, I always pegged you as more of a lover of fiction. “Dragons Are Fierce” is really geared more toward an academic audience.
Tracy Lynn: I’ll pass along the compliments to the auther.
Ash: I know – or else they die! I told my nephew that I really liked the part about how they usually have red or blue eyes, and he said, “Oh. Well, I kind of made that part up.” Because apparently, the rest is 100% factual…

How interesting that if dragons run out of meat they have to eat NOTHING. That’s the kind of diet I can get onboard with!
Heh heh. Flame box.

That really was the most informative book on dragons that I’ve read in quite awhile. Total Newbery, for sure.

I don’t know, Jen. I kind of preferred yours. Except for that part about the flame box.

I see a franchise of dragon books. I’d like to hear more about how some dragons keep their teeth white and some just don’t bother with dental hygene.

shari: I’m glad I could be of assistance. I think it’s too late for me to shop “The Bird” around to publishing houses, so I’m going to live vicariously through the success of my nephews.
Sarah: How can you not love them? They’re so fierce!
