Synopsis: When a tyrannical, fire-breathing dragon named Miss Lotta Scales becomes the new school librarian, story hour ceases, and the children are forbidden to touch the books. Eventually, a small child saves the day.

Craft ideas:

• Make a dragon or scale bookmark to protect your books. List all of the "fire" related words and phrases from the book.
• Make a sign for your library with all of the rules you would make if you were the librarian.
• How did Miss Lotty become a dragon? Draw or write a pre-quel.
