What’s a frustrated unicorn to do? Dunfer the Dragon has just moved into the cave next door, and Isadorn’s perfect world has been turned upside down. Not only does he make growling noises all day and night, he’s just burned down her favorite rosebush! Can Isadorn figure out how to talk to Dunfer about her problems? Or will her magical unicorn world be ruined forever?
Includes tips to help children learn about healthy boundaries and conflict resolution, including “I” statements suggested by leading child therapists. Perfect for ages 4-7, but older kids will still love the beautiful unicorn pictures!
Isadorn lived a peaceful life in her grotto. When Dunfer the Dragon moved in next door she was happy she had a new neighbour, that was until he started to make a mess, snarled loudly at night keeping her awake, and burnt down her favourite rose bush.
Isadorn was upset but she didn’t want to say anything to Dunfer in case he got mad or became sad, but with the help of her friend Lema she realised that by saying nothing she was only hurting herself and so she plucked up the courage to talk to him about the problems.
Isadorn the Unicorn and the Sloppy Dragon is a very sweet young children’s book that covers the subject area of conflict and how to overcome an issue. As well as the lovely story and the amazing, colourful artwork that adorns each page there are some useful tips at the back on how to talk to someone who has done something to upset you.
I agreed with all the six steps that the author states on how to talk to another person who has hurt your feels, from waiting until you are calm to talk to them, to using the word ‘I’ in your speech so that they understand how you feel.
This is a wonderful book that not only contains a beautiful story with some lovely characters but is very education too.
