Review: A Language-Rich Picture Book : As a teacher, I love Tomie De Paola's books because there is so much hidden in the text. This book is a wonderful book for younger children to build language. The written text is fairly straightforward and great for pre-readers ( 3 to 4 year olds) because they will learn/memorise it quickly enough. But the beauty is in the visual text - there is so much for the young child to tell you about, and develop the narrative themselves using the pictures. It allows the child to predict, tell events and develop the dialogue between the knight and the dragon themselves. And aside from that, it is a gorgeous and sweet tale of friendship. Highly recommended.
