100 Mighty Dragons All Named Broccoli

David LaRochelle, illustrated by Lian Cho

One hundred dragons named Broccoli live on a mountain, but their number steadily changes as groups leave. A powerful wind carries away half of them, while ten depart to surf in Hawaii. The oldest and youngest travel to New York City to form a heavy-metal band, and a wizard transforms four others. The departures and transformations leave one dragon behind.

Cover of Oh, Olive!Oh, Olive!Lian Cho, illustrated by Lian ChoOlive Chen is an artist whose imaginative work stands apart from the neat, carefully controlled shapes painted by her artist parents. The adults in her world are shown in greyscale, reflecting their restricted imaginations, while Olive’s paintings are distinctive and full of color. As other children respond to the freedom and excitement in her work, Olive’s art changes the look of their otherwise drab world. The story centers on a child artist finding expression in a family of artists with a very different approach.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details

It presents familiar ideas in unexpected ways and uses a playful approach to ask how things can be grouped, distinguished, and seen differently. Rather than following a conventional plot, the book focuses on changing points of view and on the relationships among patterns and categories.Librarian Favorites — K–2nd GradeLexile Text Measure NP0LATOS Book Level 0.1On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
