“Dragon” You Along On A Comical Tale!
New Children’s Book Celebrates Fulfilling Your Dreams Nickerbacher, The Funniest Dragon
, in stores on March 23, 2015 – or on Amazon right now!
What does it take to make your dreams come true? Passion? Practice? A willingness to defy your natural duty? For one loveable dragon, all this and more! Come meet author Terry John Barto’s newest character in Nickerbacher, The Funniest Dragon, a 34 page color illustrated book with an SRP of $15.15 breathing fun for children ages 5-8. Nickerbacher is also available as an eBook with the download price of $3.99.
Nickerbacher is a sweet-tempered, bushy-browed beast who spends his days guarding Princess Gwendolyn and dreams of being a stand-up comic — not exactly a profession for a dragon! He’s true to his duty as a dragon – as dictated by his Papa – but wants only to make the world laugh. Gwendolyn is supportive and encouraging, telling him he needs to do what makes him happy. It isn’t until the dashing Prince Happenstance comes along, ready for a fight, that they realize that instead of battling each other, they should do what’s in their hearts and pursue their true desires (the Prince really wants to be a baseball pitcher). With a winning set at The Comedy Castle and his family’s newfound support and pride, it’s all laughter, happiness and dreams come true for the good-natured dragon!
I read Nickerbacher, The Funniest Dragon, to Bug who is 6. He was reluctant at first because he very much judges a book by it’s cover. He loves stories and reading but if he doesn’t like how it looks he loses interested. But I insisted and he was in a good mood so he sat still for the story. By the time we got to “Prince Fancypants” he was giggling.
It’s a brighly colored storybook with a good message about pursuing what you’re good at. Recommended for ages 5-8. But I think the message is great for any child whether they be 8, 10 or 12. The jokes may be a little hard for the 6 and under crowd to understand. Bug didn’t really get many of them but he thought Prince Fancypants was funny.
You can also print a Nickerbacher coloring sheet and maze to go along with your story time!
I have been given one copy of Nickerbacher, The Funniest Dragon to give away to one lucky reader!
