Hello, I'm Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed: A Memoir and a Literacy Problem Solver, reading Nasty Little Dragon Song from Jack Palutski's The Dragons Are Singing Tonight. I'm a nasty, nasty dragon. I've been nasty since my birth. When it comes to nasty dragons, I'm the nastiest on earth. I've a nasty, nasty temper, and my breath is nasty too. I was nasty to my parents, and I'll be nastier to you. It's my nature to be nasty, nasty, nasty night and day. I will act completely nasty if you're in my nasty way. Yet I largely pass unnoticed as I nastily go by. I'm a nasty, nasty dragon, just a nasty half inch high. Thank you. Enjoy.
