About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is in that sweet spot of development where they are beginning to question the line between reality and imagination. It is perfect for a snowy afternoon when a child is looking for a bit of magic in the mundane world of school and neighborhood play. The story follows a relatable group of friends, the Bailey School Kids, as they investigate whether a local scientist's snow sculpture might actually be a living dragon. At its heart, this is a story about collective curiosity and the joy of a shared mystery. It celebrates the way children use teamwork and creative thinking to navigate their environment. While the 'monsters' in this series are always left slightly ambiguous, the book focuses on the bonds of friendship and the excitement of discovery. It is an ideal 'bridge' book for early elementary readers who are ready for chapters but still crave fast-paced, high-interest plots.
