Description

Dragons get hungry! One by one, ten dragons grab the first fruit they see in order to fill their bellies. But when all the food has been snatched up, there is still one hungry dragon who has nothing to eat. Will this poor dragon go away hungry, or will he find food in an unexpected way?

A social-emotional story that teaches children how to count backward from ten to one and introduces them to the concept of subtraction.

Critical Reviews

"I loved how Ten Hungry Dragons by Lorna Lovell Stallman playfully blends simple take-away math with an uplifting social-emotional message. The rhymes are engaging and perfect for reading aloud, and the pacing keeps young listeners eager for the next "ROAR!" Each dragon has a distinct personality, adding humor and variety that keep this read lively from start to finish. The illustrations by Leila Nabih are colorful and lend the narrative an almost whimsical quality. As an educator, I can see this book sparking classroom discussions about sharing, fairness, and friendship, while also reinforcing counting and subtraction skills. After reading, students could practice counting backward, do some simple equations, or create fruit-themed crafts. Dragons and other mystical creatures are always a big hit with kids, whether it's in the classroom or at home, and this story channels that fascination into a silly, engaging learning experience full of charm." - Reviewed by Jennifer Senick for Readers' Favorite
