A novel of Lanny Budd, American, in the terrifying days from Munich to the fall of Paris, while an apprehensive world watches Europe yield to the German war machine.

I loved this book. It was whimsical and cute, and dealt with how we feel when we think we are overlooked. The illustrations were gorgeous. The language was a bit difficult, but it was always possible to work out the meaning; I think it's good for children to be introduced to difficult words from a young age. I think the storyline might have been lost on the littler children, but they had so much fun finding the dragons, they didn't mind! Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning. But when it becomes apparent that they don't belong in George's ordinary world, he endeavours to do the best for his new friends and find them the home they deserve. Text Rationale:Nobody notices George and nobody notices the dragons he can see all around him. He likes the dragons but when they get him into trouble by breaking things George realises he needs to do something. He goes to the the library to do some research (beautiful illustration of a dragon in a library at this point of the story) and finds out where they should live. He builds a fantastic dragon shaped machine and leads the dragons home and then is found and taken home himself, no longer feeling invisible.
