Customer Reviews

GREAT BOOK to teach life lessons.

The Serendipity series are short stories that always have a "moral" story at the end. I read them to my kids and use to teach writing of picture books to my students. Excellent series

Persnickity

Persnickity is a wonderful book about a dragon who wants everything to be perfect. He finds this can be difficult living with a house full of messy dragons. He moves out to find perfection and with the help of a rose, discovers that each thing is perfect in its own way. All of the books in the Serendipity series are terrific, but this is one of my favorites. It helps to remind us that we do not have to make things "perfect." Sometimes perfection is found by appreciating what something already is. Kids will enjoy the brightly colored pictures and humorous story. They will also learn an important lesson for life. I highly recommend this book for children and adults alike.
