ROYAL PRINCESS ACADEMY: DRAGON DREAMS
written by Laura Rennert, illustrated by Melanie Florian
Laura's author website
She doesn't like pink, can't dance, and just can't seem to fit into the Royal Princess Academy mold. Other princesses are excited about princess classes and the up-coming All School Princess Contest, but secretly all Emma dreams of is being a dragon rider. When news breaks that dragons in the kingdom are falling ill, Emma resolves to solve the mystery, despite her family's urging to leave such problems to the Royal Council. With her best friend Rapunzel and some unexpected help, not to mention some very un-princess-like maneuvers, Emma just might manage to save her beloved dragons, and possibly even the whole kingdom."

written by Laura Joy Rennert, pictures by Marc Brown
Laura's author website
Dogs are delightful. Cats are cute. Fish are fun. But the best pet of all is... a DINOSAUR. Hmm, but what kind of dino should you choose? Spiky, armored, humongous, pea-brained, plant-eater? How do you take care of him once he's (gulp) home? How do you feed him, exercise him, take him to the vet, and give him a bath? Not to mention train him, since he might like to chew on—er, swallow—Mom's new shoes.
Full of little-known info and sage advice, here's the definitive guide to dino ownership for kids everywhere!
