Hello, I'm Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed: A Memoir and a literacy problem solver, reading from Jack Palutski's The Dragons Are Singing Tonight. I wish I had a dragon. I wish I had a dragon with diamond-studded scales, with claws like silver sabres, And fangs like silver nails. A dragon fierce and faithful, always ready by my side. A dragon to defend me or take me for a ride. I wish I had a dragon with eyes of shining gold, who breathed a plume of fire whenever it was told. A dragon so ferocious It might frighten Frankenstein, but not a lazy dragon who sleeps all day like mine. Thank you.
