K-Gr 3—Young readers, from babies to younger elementary students, will never see a river in the same way;
Guillain has devised a vibrant concertina with Empson's bright, semi-realistic illustrations that ingeniously follow a
river coursing to the sea. This is an absolutely sensational piece of creativity.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
Fun and colorful, this is a solid winner. A great resource for how families can expand even as parents might be splitting up. Highlights the many different ways people can support a child in a blended family.

I think this book can be for primary level and could be read aloud to the class to inform the students about dragons while it also being fun. It is informational about all the different cultures that have myths about dragons and how the myth has influenced celebrations that happen now that involve dragons.

- Age: Intermediate

- This book went through different cultures' ideas about what a fairy is like. It mentions how fairies have been portrayed in media. I would say this book is for intermediate or middle school as it has a lot of information, though it used simple big words and it had a pronunciation guide for words from a culture.

- It would be an interesting book to have in my classroom, however unless I am teaching about fairies I do not see the use of it.
