Fall Book Review - Dragon vs. Unicorn - Friends or Frenemies?

Yesterday I received a box of books from Kids Can Press, so today I'm happy to let you know about one of the books - Dragon vs. Unicorn - Friends or Frenemies? written by P.J. Hoover and illustrated by Lisa Wiley.

Favorite Features -

• Fun, graphic comic format - combined with choose your ending stories - young readers will enjoy all three stories!
• Colorful, detailed, and fun illustrations add to the story.
• Tackles important topics surrounding friendship - such as, what do you do if you see things differently than your friend or what do you do when your friend wants to do something and you want to do something else, or what do you do with strong feelings?
• Fun characters - dragon and unicorn!

Kids Can Press says, "In this unique, interactive graphic novel, early readers learn how to make good choices – and even choose what the characters do next!

Dragon and Unicorn are best friends who agree on everything. Well, almost everything. Dragon likes to follow the rules, while Unicorn is more of a free spirit, so sometimes they fight. Luckily, in these three stories, whenever the friends disagree, the reader gets to choose what happens next. Each choice leads to a different outcome, and at the end of the story, the reader can start again and choose a whole new storyline!

Bestselling author P. J. Hoover lets readers drive the action in these short stories. The two characters are funny and relatable as they argue about clubhouse rules and what to do at a sleepover. As young readers consider the best way to deal with the interpersonal conflicts, they’ll gain important social and relationship skills. Playful art by Lisa Wiley perfectly showcases the emotional drama in the stories. Strong curriculum ties to social-emotional learning, conflict resolution, and story writing combine with excellent character-education lessons in cooperation, empathy, honesty, and teamwork in a totally immersive interactive package."

I love books with interesting characters and a message which young readers are able to understand - Dragon vs. Unicorn - Friends or Frenemies? has all these things and more! Plus, when you add in the choose your own ending, well, kids will love this book for sure - very well done!
