Genre: Fiction Reading Level: 2nd Grade Activity Grade: 2nd Grade
Book Description: The Librarian is a dragon of a lady and doesn't want any of the kids to read the library books or ruin them, but when she sees the kids taking care of the books she turns into a human again and becomes kind.
Integrated Idea: "Dragon" could be another term for "Bully," and this is how one could introduce the idea of synonyms. Find synonyms in the book and write them on the board with the class. Write a paragraph about the book and change as many words as one can using synonyms. The class could even write a short letter to their own librarian thanking them for not being such a "dragon" with their own personal library books using synonyms the students learned previously at the beginning of class.
