Title: "The Tale of Custard the Dragon"
Author: Ogden Nash
Illustrator: Lynn Munsinger
Genre: Fairy Tale
Grade Level: Pre-k to 2nd grade
Characters: Ink-the black kitten, Blink-the gray mouse, Mustard-the dog, Custard-the dragon, Belinda, and a pirate
Summary: Custard the dragon acts cowardly around his friends and cries for a cage. The other creatures taunt him and laugh at his fearfulness, until one day when a pirate arrives. Custard gobbles him up and shows his friends that he can be brave in certain circumstances. I thought the story carried a great message in that people aren't brave with everything, but courageous at certain things. I really enjoyed the illustrations of Custard, because he appeared so harmless for a dragon.
