The Dreadful Dragon — Carol A. Sheldon

What happens when a Dragon comes to the village? Are people glad to see him? No, they are afraid. Do they need to be afraid? He is really very gentle and just wants to make friends. The Dragon tries over and over again to get in the village, but the people build a big wall to keep him out. Now what will he do? There must be some way that he can get inside the wall and show them that he is really a gentle Dragon, and just wants friends and love like everyone else.This story, in addition to being enjoyable, much like a fairy tale, is meant to teach children that regardless of how we look, we all want love and friendship.
