Teacher Tuesday with The Library Dragon



Respecting Property: Grades 2-4

In this colorful book, Sunrise Elementary School needs a thick-skinned librarian to take care of the books in their school. Miss Lotta Scales is immediately hired upon responding to the school’s advertisement for someone who is “on fire with enthusiasm.” Who could be better for this job than a live dragon? Miss Lotta Scales takes her job very seriously, but upon hearing young Molly Brickmeyer reading aloud to other students, Miss Lotta Scales learns the value of sharing these precious books and transforms into Miss Lotty, the lovable librarian.

This book is a wonderful read aloud that will keep the entire class engaged. The book also includes a variety of lessons applicable to a typical school day for elementary school students. Try this activity with your class after reading The Library Dragon together (this activity works particularly well before a class trip to the library).
