The Halloween Dragon Richard Fiorito

What can a Dragon teach children about diversity? The book takes children in the book and the reader on a quest to recognize diversity. It is done through a relationship with a dragon named Dexter. Dexter wanted to play games with the children. His first attempt was a disaster but his wit eventually prevailed. Through their experiences with Dexter, the children learned valuable lessons about judging others and night time safety. At the end of the book, there are provided developmental activities. They will take the reader back to the adventures of the story. There are non-elimination games, movement activities with directions, and an action song to encourage learning. The book and learning experiences are useful and fun in the classroom or at home. Let Dexter take children on a journey of adventure in learning of diversity and safety on Halloween night.
