Rory is a remarkable dragon: she has a beak, she doesn't roar like other dragons, she has much smaller wings and is not good at breathing fire. On her first day at school, the other dragons see that Rory is different. When lunchtime comes, Rory loses her appetite when the dragons are served a chicken dinner. The principal senses something is off with Rory from the moment Rory enters the school, but lunchtime proves her point! Rory is a vegetarian dragon! She then declares that Rory can be the treasure guard, the youngest in history.
Rory takes her job seriously, guarding the treasure from plundering knights. In fact, one look at Rory and the knights run away. She is the scariest dragon they've ever seen. Young readers will love Rory, a chicken who is hatched alongside dragons' eggs.
Rory the Remarkable Dragon is a whimsical picture book that celebrates standing out in a crowd and accepting your own differences. Young readers will smile at the chicken's moxie and laugh out loud at the runaway knights.
Highly, highly recommended ages 18 months and up. The cartoon like drawings welcome readers in and the humor captures Rory's personality.
