ZOG

ZOG

This book is a really funny story, I think that it is appropriate for five - year - old children, because have interesting things about the dragons, magic, and things appealing for the children.

Also it has a good layout, the children are able to follow the story while they are looking at the pictures.

It has some difficult words but with the context and the illustrations is easy for the children, they can understand it. They need short and simple sentences and this book has them.

With this book we can teach values like friendship, fulfill their goals…
