Roar-Choo: Book GiveawayAbout the Book
Roar-Choo!
Written by Charlotte Cheng
Illustrated by Dan Santat
Ages 4+ | 40 Pages
Publisher: Rocky Pond Books | ISBN-13: 9780593531754
Publisher’s Synopsis: Patient, peaceful Phoenix tries to take care of rambunctious and cold-ridden Dragon, which leads to hilarious and sweet results (with vibrant illustrations by the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Beekle).
Everyone knows that dragons are fierce, capable of taking on the world!
But this dragon can’t stop sneezing long enough to get a roar out. Even with friendly Phoenix insisting that Dragon get some rest, this powerful creature refuses to stop for any orange ginger tea or a drop of bone broth soup.
It’s only when Dragon realizes Phoenix has caught the same cold that they are both able to take the break they so badly need. This tale of helping your friends and valuing differences is a sure-thing for story time.

Dragons are a favorite of my niece, I know she will love this book
When I read “A Golden Compass”and each person had a companion animal who was a reflection of them as well as suited to them, it made me think. My closest companions in life are my dogs, but I think my imaginary companion might be a cat. (We have five of those, also, and I love them, too. One is on my lap right now.) Independent. Able to be content on their own. Loving. Nap-friendly. I would be comforted by having a cat companion, even imaginary.
My pick would definitely be a unicorn that can fly!
An Ewok lol

When I was a girl I would have chosen a magic horse as my companion. I can imagine that–I have loved some very special horses, and if that horse could fly, or travel long distances without growing weary, those would be excellent skills to have.
