Hello, I am Lois Letchford, author of the book Reversed Memoir and literacy problem solver, reading from The Dragons Are Singing Tonight by Jack Palutski and illustrated by Peter Sis. I'm waiting, waiting, waiting. I'm waiting, waiting, waiting for my dragon egg to hatch. I've been waiting, waiting, waiting for a year, ever since I found it. hidden in my mother's garden patch. Now I think my baby dragon's almost here. I have never had a dragon of my very own before, and I wonder, will my dragon breathe a flame? Will it greet me every morning with a friendly little roar? Will it answer when I summon it by name? I am counting off the seconds till my dragon first appears. Poking through the shell to freedom with the horn. I can't wait to see its winglets, tiny muzzle, tail, and ears when my brand new baby dragon's finally born. Thank you. Hit like, hit subscribe and the bell for notifications, and share with others.
