Max's Dragon


Max's Dragon by Kate Banks tells a story about three brothers. One named Max seems to be the outsider while Karl and Benjamin seem to always play together. Max tries to play with them but they make fun of his imaginative dragon and rhyming patterns. However, as the story progresses Karl and Benjamin follow Max as he is playing with his dragon. They stop making fun of him and seem to enjoy their adventures with Max. Once Max has made friends with his brothers, the dragon magically goes off to sleep so that the three brothers can bond. I really like how Max has his own personal friend when he doesn't seem to get along perfectly with his brothers. Whenever I talk to friends who are from a family of three siblings, it seems like two are always teaming up on the other one. I think that has got to be hard especially when they are younger because no one likes to be left out.
