Nominee for Best Children's Picture Book 2009
Danny the Dragon “Meets Jimmy”
Danny’s mannerisms are absolutely charming as he strolls through the pages meeting Jimmy’s family and friends in the MOST unusual way, imparting his delightful acts of wisdom and kindness while Skipper continues to take notes in his traveling journal for future adventures. Why are they here? Where are they going? Danny and his little traveling companion, Skipper, are quite the adventuresome and fun duo.
Danny the Dragon was a huge hit in our house. Dragons and dinosaurs, in general, are Bryan's favorite things but now all dragons/dinosaurs are "Danny Dragon." Danny is a cute dragon and I love the story. The book is beautifully illustrated. And the only problem with the DVD, which includes a translation of the story in sing language was that Bryan was not happy when it ended!!
Here is some of the information that the DVD provides:
->> 93% of all deaf children are born to normal hearing families.
->> Only 10% of those families learn to effectively communicate with their own child or children.
->> About 85% of deaf High School graduates only read at a 3rd to 4th grade level.

Danny is adorable and I think the story is great. It encourages kids to use their imaginations and believe. that anything is possible.

talented and successful children. She ran her own consulting business and studio, Show Biz Kidz,

Living on both coasts of the U.S. since the mid-nineties, Tina wrote and traveled while lecturing on her
book Show Biz Kids East Coast Guidebook, which supplies information for southern East Coast families
with show-biz-bound children.
Through her work with children, Tina became fascinated with the area of child health and nutrition,
leading to her research in this field, which has resulted in many wonderful insights and friends in a wide
range of professions along this avenue. Her website www.GlutenFreeHelp.info is just one result of those
years and her continued interest in these subjects.
