I came across this books a few years back and really love it
and so do students. It is called Jack and the Dragon! I am lucky enough to autographed copy!
This book is about Jack, his brothers and a dragon. Jack's brothers like to take advantage of Jack and make him do all the work while they go play.
Well, while his brothers are gone a dragon keeps coming and eating all the food Jack makes.
Finally, Jack follows the dragon when it leaves and ends up down a well.
He finds a princess and treasure but he has to fight the dragon to save her.
He is successful, but his brothers have one more trick up their sleeves. However, Jack wins in the end!
They all live happily ever after!
I love this book and there are a couple other Jack adventure books out there also. I also like that it is an Appalachian Folktale. I will be reading this to my 4th graders this year since we learn all about North Carolina! You can get your copy here~~~>Jack and the Dragon
Hope everyone has an awesome day!
