Review # 1 was written on 2016-11-07 00:00:00 J . McCool i: Serious Trouble, is about a young boy named Ernest who is a child to a king and queen. His parents explain to him that one day he will be King but he wants nothing to do with that title. He explains to them that he instead wants be a "jester" so he can make people laugh. His parents are worried about 3 dragons that have been roaming around near their castle and want someone to stop them so it does not lead to future trouble. When Ernest decides to be himself, his parents are surprised to find that he has made friends with the dragons because of his personality which then stops the dragons from attacking their castle. ii. A major theme in this novel is about never giving up on your dreams or something you desire to be in life even when people tell you to do otherwise. iii. I would give this book 4 stars because I thought it was interesting but needed a little bit more detail to better complete the story. I think this book would be good to read to very young children that need to learn about never giving up on their dreams while also engaging them with the fun story and funny characters. iv. I personally liked this book because it was easy to read, had good illustrations and made the story fun while also addressing a major theme. I think that the book could have been longer and better explained some of the points behind following your dreams. However, I think it is a fun, and light read to present to younger children who enjoy listening to a fun story. v. I recommend this book because I think it does a good job at showing a fun story can also have a deeper meaning. I think that students would enjoy this book because of its funny illustrations and great description with the main character, Ernest. I also think that this could be a good book for a child to read if they are feeling pressure from their parents to be something they are not.
