Hello, it's Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed: A Memoir and Literacy Problem Solver. Reading Jack Palutski's The Dragons Are Singing Tonight. Tonight is the night all the dragons awake in their lairs underground to sing in cacophonous chorus and fill the whole world with their sound. They sing of their days of their glory. They sing of their Exploits of old, of maidens and knights, and of fiery fights and guarding vast caches of gold. Some of their voices are treble. Some of their voices are deep. But all of their voices are thunderous, and no one can get any sleep. I lie in my bed and I listen, enchanted and filled with delight, to songs I can hear Only one night a year! The dragons are singing tonight! Thank you! Hit like, enjoy, hit subscribe, share, and hit the bell for notifications.
