A Campfire Tail

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ana Gómez. This cheerful summer-camp story centers on the subtle difference between a buddy and a friend. The blond-ponytailed narrator is initially enthusiastic about showing new camper Dragon the ropes as his assigned buddy, but several mishaps leave them both feeling excluded until Dragon proves himself as a camper and a friend. The kindhearted red dragon towers over expressive-faced human kids in the busy illustrations.
