Bling's weekly book review - Dragon Was Terrible, authored by Kelly Dipucchio

Hi Kids,

It is time for my weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there, it is difficult to pick one to review each week.   I want to review more than one!!

This week, my book review is on "Dragon was Terrible" by author, Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Greg Pizzoli.

What makes us choose a specific book to read?   It can be a number of things.  This week what caught my attention was the title of the book.   I had to laugh out loud when I read it....Dragon was Terrible!   Instantly, I wanted to read more.

The first page begins the story saying, "Dragon was terrible.  Naturally, dragons have a bit of terrible in them because they are dragons after all."   I laughed to myself (well, Rembrandt Blue, my cat besty, heard me too.)  That is so true.  Who isn't afraid of a dragon?  I asked myself, "Why are we afraid of dragons?  Well, because...they are dragons...duh!"   This made me think a little.  Hum, maybe we shouldn't think all dragons are terrible just because they are dragons.   Then, I went back to reading.  The book went on to list all the bad things that this dragon did.  On one page it mentioned that he spit on cupcakes.   ARE YOU KIDDING ME?   That is downright nasty.  Okay, I kept reading.    The king in the story had enough from this dragon and posted a reward for whoever could tame the out of control dragon.   Of course, this was a pretty terrible dragon and no one could tame him.  Do you know a little boy is the hero of the story.   I SOOOOOO want to tell you what the boy did, but that wouldn't be fair to ruin the ending for you.   This is a great book.  I really enjoyed it and think you will too.   Congratulations to the author, Kelly DiPucchio for a wonderful story. 

Thank you for reading my book review.  I'll have a new one next week.

If you have a book you'd like to recommend for me to read, I'd love for you to email me at  adogbling@gmail.com

Love and hugs, your friend, Bling

I just received a message that truly touches the heart.   This message is a result of a grandmother who gave her grandson my children's picture book, No Ghoulish Green Monsters Here, and following is what she shared with me.  I have to say, I could not be more excited....touched....Bling's messages through her book are exactly what was hoped for while I was writing it and creating the illustrations.   To purchase Bling's book - go to her website at adogbling.com Hi Dawn! I bought a autographed copy of your first book for my 3 year old grandson. His sweet Dad just sent me these two texts this evening and I thought you would enjoy seeing them.   My son loves the Bling Irish setter book you got him, we’ve read it by demand every night lol   He literally loves this book lol. He told me tonight that the books meaning to him is that if something is scary that we have to be brave in his own 3 year old way after we read it tonight. He was going through a little scared of the da

Hi Kids, I am going to start doing a weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there.   I wish we could read them all.  This week, my book review is on " Do Unto Otters " by author, Laurie Keller .  The book is fabulous.   Of course, the first thing I enjoyed was the cover and all the illustrations of ANIMALS.  I LOVE animals.  On the cover, Ms. Keller writes this book is, "A Book About Manners."   You know, learning great manners is one of those things that we can never stop learning about.  The older we get, the more we try, and the more we care about others, will all teach us to have the best manners possible.   Manners might not seem important now, but they are.  Believe me when I tell you this!!   The book starts out with Otters moving to the animals' neighborhood in the forest.  All the other animals are worried about the Otters.  The other animals were worried that the Otters would not have good manners.   The animals hoped the O

Hi friends, It is time for this week's book review.   Do you remember a few weeks ago we talked about a story book containing 3 stories about Harry the dog?   Well, I thought it would be fun to review the second story of this book.   Of course the story is about our cute little buddy, Harry.  The name of this week's story in the book is No Roses for Harry.   The story is written by Gene Zion and illustrated by Margaret Bloy Graham . If you remember the last story we read about Harry, you will remember Harry seems to get himself into trouble.   Well, Harry is going to get himself into trouble again in this story. The story starts out with the kids in Harry's family giving him a sweater that their grandmother had made for him.   Harry loved how it felt on.  The only problem was that the sweater had roses on it.  Now really, how could he wear a sweater with roses on it.  Harry was not happy.   Then, to make matters worse
