A Book Fairy List

For the Kid Who's Obsessed With Dragons

You know the kid. Draws dragons on everything, names the dog something with “fire” in it. This is the whole arc — from the picture books they'll memorize to the fat series they'll disappear into for a month. Save it for the next “I want a dragon book.”
