Jacob Flaherty's Favorites

Dragonology: The Complete Book of Dragons
This book is about everything about dragons. It shows maps on a few other pages and one big one which shows where dragons were. They found dragons in Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, three in Asia, Africa, Australia and one in the water. The book showed scales. More scales. More scales. The bones, the mustles, and the body parts (fangs, teeth, scales, horns, large bat-like wings, etc.). Some can fly and some can not fly.It talks about how it grows into a dragon. It starts as an egg. It takes 36 months for a dragon to grow. They show dragon dust. It's really pretty. On the other side, the dust is pretty because they show it on the other side too.The book is pretty inside it and outside it.

Curious George by H.A. Rey
Curious George lives in Africa. He was a good, little monkey and he was always very, very, extremely curious. The yellow man saw him and George came off a tree. George put the man's hat on but couldn't see, then the man took off the hat. George was popped into a bag. George was caught.This is very interesting. Why is George smoking? His clothes were a little too big for him when he went to bed. George rowed on a boat to a dock and then got on a big ship.George went out on the front of the boat. He saw seagulls flying and wondered if he could fly like a bird. He tried and first he flied then he fell in the water. When he was back safe, he climbed up a house and saw some people with balloons. George tried to get a red one for himself except that he got all the balloons and flew away. They had to run far! George saw everybody and they looked like dolls and toy houses. Soon the wind stopped. He landed on a traffic light. The yellow man yelled "George!". The man paid for all of the balloons. He went to the zoo where George could live and all the animals had a balloon.
