"a sis & chrys book"
A boy overcomes spelling-bee anxiety by imagining the misadventures of his stuffed dragon in this debut picture book from sisters Heinrichs and Grall. Jimmy, a blond, pale-skinned boy, often has silly dreams of animal adventures,as depicted in Grall's opening, brightly colored cut-paper illustration. But the night before a spelling bee, his dreams turn to nightmares. He wakes up and confesses to Fire Breath, his stuffed dragon, that he's forgotten all his spelling-bee words. But he comes up with a plan: "What if he stayed home and sent Fire Breath in his place?" As Jimmy imagines the resulting antics--which culminate in the fire-breathing dragon burning down the auditorium--the boy realizes that it would be unfair to send an unprepared dragon to a spelling bee.
