How to Ride a Dragonfly by Kitty Donohoe
Like a laugh-out-loud spin on Thumbelina, this whimsical, beautifully illustrated picture book stars an adventurous little girl who shrinks down to the size of a bug and takes a tour of the swamp on a dragonfly's back.Have you ever wanted to ride a dragonfly? Well, there's one problem... You're too big! But if you follow these simple steps, you'll be sure to have a fantastic journey-
- Step 1- Put a rose petal in your pocket at sunrise, which will make you shrink. But don't forget- you must return by sunset-- or else you'll stay shrunk!
- Step 2- Pick a blade of grass and lasso the first dragonfly that buzzes by--we'll call her Priscilla. Climb aboard!
- Step 3- Joust a bumblebee, groove to the Beetle Band, dine with fairies, and have an adventure. Watch out for the frogs! They love to eat dragonflies, and Priscilla looks quite tasty...
With a delightfully funny text by an elementary school teacher and deliciously playful artwork by a beloved illustrator, here is the perfect picture book for any child in search of adventure!
Susan McElroy Montanari has had many unusual pets over the years. She had a five-foot-long rat snake named Snookums, and her daughters once found a baby alligator in a neighbor's pool. She has spent much of her life on the beach and tidal creeks surrounding Savannah, Georgia. After several years in Norwalk, Connecticut, she has returned to live in Savannah with her husband and a cat named Tybee. This is her first book. Anne Wilsdorf's cat, Istanbul, likes to watch her paint. Once, when Anne was drawing insects, Istanbul jumped on the paper, trying to catch the bugs as soon as they appeared under her pen. She is the illustrator of numerous books for children, including Sophie's Squash by Pat Zietlow Miller, which received four starred reviews; Dogs on the Bed by Elizabeth Bluemle; The Best Story by Eileen Spinelli; and Alligator Sue by Sharon Arms Doucet. She lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland.
