1. The Library Dragon
None
In this whimsical tale, a new librarian, Miss Lotta Scales, who is actually a dragon, fiercely guards the books in the school library, preventing children from accessing them. Her fiery demeanor and strict rules intimidate the students, who are eager to explore the world of reading. However, when a brave young girl named Molly challenges the dragon's approach by reading aloud, the power of storytelling begins to melt the dragon's heart. This transformation highlights the importance of sharing stories and the joy of reading, ultimately leading to a more welcoming and inclusive library environment.
