Sarah the Dragon Lady
Martha Bennett Stiles
- Reading
- Read alongside the child, pausing to discuss how the family relationships are presented. Keep the discussion flexible, since the book’s intensity and ending cannot be determined in advance.
- Themes
- Family relationships: The book is identified as children’s fiction with family relationships as its subject, but the particular family situation and events are not described. The subject indicates that family relationships are relevant, but does not show whether the book presents them positively, critically, humorously, or ambivalently.
- Worth knowing
- The family focus may make this worth previewing if family relationships are an important reading interest. The book’s treatment of conflict, comfort, change, or loss is not established.
