What should Dragon do when the book she wants is already checked out? Pout? Grab it? Make a fuss? With a clever twist that shows, instead of dictates, the kind way to behave, this interactive picture books lets little ones experience the emotions of not getting their way while witnessing that others have feelings too. The story is structured in a way that allows children to experience empathy and gives them the power to show care through sharing. The illustrations are lively and fun, inviting young hands to point to items and show compassion toward Dragon. Sharing is Caring, Dragon! is another delightful picture book from Bianca Schulze and Samara Hardy that perfectly captures a child's temperament in an all too familiar situation. Definitely recommended!

𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐧 is a charming children’s book that features fun, colorful illustrations and an entertaining story with a meaningful message.
The story follows Dragon as she returns books to the library and looks for her favorite book. But when the book titled 𝐶𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 has already been taken by Sir Fiero, a battle ensues. (𝐶𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒 is a previous book in this series and shares the shelf space in this story’s library. What fun!)
These familiar characters from previous books are fun to reacquaint with, and I appreciate how they gently share important examples of learning patience, showing kindness, and how sharing with others fosters joy. I love watching Dragon and Knight grow as they learn important lessons and change their attitudes towards others.
I find it unique that the other books in this delightful series are showcased in this story, making it especially fun for readers to explore more about the lovable Dragon.
This charming book is such a fun way for children to learn important values and social skills, all while diving into their love of reading. And with Valentines Day approaching, the board book, 𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯? and 𝘋𝘳𝘢𝘨𝘰𝘯 𝘓𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴 are recommended for continuing the series!
First Line: Where do you think Dragon is going today with a groovy looking bag like that?

Our friend Dragon is back with a new adventure. In. The. Library. (I could probably stop right there, but I will give you a few more details.) We all know the excitement of heading into the library to pick up a favorite book and the major disappointment when the longed-for book isn’t there. This time readers will experience that emotional roller coaster along with Dragon.
Like all the Dragon books, this one is perfect for lap reading. The interactive component keeps youngsters engaged as they whisper “Wheeeeee!” to the books sliding down the return chute or pat Dragon on the back to console her. Their favorite part might be making “a sneaky sideways look without turning” their heads, just as Dragon glares at Sir Fiero. Adults will get a chuckle from the titles on the library shelves like “A Tale of Two Kitties” and “The Starry Knight.” Above all, Dragon appeals to everyone because she feels the same things we all do. Anyone reading the story will be able to recall a time when they were in a similar situation and how difficult it was to wait for a turn or share an especially beloved item. And the successful resolution of the problem will leave everyone feeling satisfied.

As a librarian, I adore this newest Dragon book because Dragon is on her way to one of her favorite places--the LIBRARY! Dragon is a responsible library citizen and returns her library books. When it's time to check out new books, Dragon can't find the book she really wants. . .and then she sees in in Sir Fiero's hands! Dragon wants the book; Sir Fiero has it. . .whatever will happen? This book is such a great conversation starter about so many things: libraries, friendship, taking turns, sharing, and a love of books!
One of my favorite things about the Dragon books is the interactivity. Readers help pat Dragon on the back to reassure her, they help open the library door, and they help return the books. Readers will delight in the gold foil on the cover that gives the book, Dragon, and Sir Fiero some extra fanciness and the little Easter eggs of the covers of other books by Bianca Schulze and Samara Hardy in the library!
I highly recommend this book for all homes, schools, and libraries!

Such an adorable book full of exciting illustrations and an interactive story. Sharing is a tough lesson for littles to learn, this book will help explain why it’s so important while entertaining with cuteness. The gold foil on the cover hints at how special this book really is.
Dragon visits the library to return her books on time (another valuable lesson), only to have the book she wants to check out missing. Humor comes into play to lighten the “oh no” factor here. I highly recommend this book for teaching this valuable social skill while dotting the children’s bookshelf, libraries, and daycares (where the lesson will be beneficial) with this adorable Dragon.

My first reaction after reading this book was to think, “Aww . . .” I appreciate the fun, relatable story as Dragon and Sir Fiero navigate the need to share something beloved. Bianca Schulze adds to the adventure with interactivity and a perfect ending. Samara Hardy’s colorful illustrations further enhance the charm. This book is sure to become a favorite for many young readers (who will hopefully follow Dragon’s lead to share it with other small friends!).

I received this book from The Children’s Book Review/Bianca Schulze + Samara Hardy in exchange of an honest review.
In this adorable (and hilarious book we follow our dragon as she makes her way to the library! Yes, this book is about libraries and about books! And of course, sharing. Because Dragon has come to the library to get her ULTIMATE favourite book (and one by the writers of this one, Cattitude (which was indeed a very fun book), but what happens when her book is not there! What will she do next when someone she knows DOES have the book? Well, you may imagine what happens given that the book is all about sharing. Dragon just snatches the book. That is not polite dragon, oh no. I loved seeing what happens next because neither the knight nor the dragon wants to let go even though they also have other books to enjoy (but this book is the one for both of them)! It was great the book noped out (would have done the same if I was a magical book and everyone was fighting over me), and I loved the last few pages with the princess reading the story and the knight/dragon learning a very wise lesson. Sharing is caring peeps. You can each get a turn at the book, but maybe the library should also add some new copies of the book since it is getting quite popular and more and more peeps want to read it. I hope that dragon and knight will recommend each other books and just have fun reading! And sharing, that is also important.
Like each of the books this one is interactive! You can help the dragon in the library, say byebye to books (I am SO glad I am not the only one doing that at times, haha), sneaky glances, and much more. I always love it when books add interactive elements, it really involves you with the story, makes it come to life.
I love the message in this book. It wasn’t pushed in your face (like some other picture books I read over the years), but gently told in a fun story.
And of course the art is still fantastic!
All in all, I would recommend this one to everyone! It was just such a fun one to read and I love that it was about books and libraries and sharing! I love this dragon series and I would recommend them all, kids will definitely love them~

Let’s begin by saying my kindergarten students both needed and loved this story, and the dragon is a girl! The illustrations are perfect to catch their attention and they’re also beautiful. The lessons in the story for us were two: we can enjoy books from our library and we can enjoy them even more maybe, if we share. Library books belong to everybody :)

Wow we love this series!!
Our friendly dragon is back again, and this time- its all about sharing a favourite book!
I'm always keen to read books about BOOKS- and this was a delightful read, with the heartwarming message about sharing a favourite book with friends.
The interactive nature of these picture books really makes them shine- they make for perfect read-alouds to preschoolers, elementary classes, or to your own children! Get them moving and keep them engaged while you read :)
