Dragons are not for breathing fire. They're a friendly dragon that has dreams of her own. She wants to dance. The title of this book is “Dragons Don't Dance Ballet”. What a way to say you can not have what you want.

But Esmeralda Dragon thinks she can't fit in and with the image of her body she thinks she can not dance. Well, this book helps with body image and encourages you to keep going and trying to fulfill your dreams. It also teaches us to never give up.

Will Esmeralda Dragon get what she wants or will she give up on trying. She has a friend Harold and he comes to encourage her. He does seem to step up when everyone else does not. You will be surprised by how this ends.

The pictures are done well. Just cause you do not look like others does not mean you can not fit it. You just are different and need to do things differently. Will Esmeralda Dragon get to dance? Children should try and keep trying to reach their dreams. They should never give up if they want to reach them. This seems to be what this book is about. The meaning of it along with the body being different. That should not matter if you can do something.

When Meg agrees to babysit a toddler, she just thinks it will be for a few hours. So when the mother hasn't returned by that night, she begins to try to track her down. Naturally, the trail leads to scandal, and dead body, and laughs. I thought this book was stronger than the last couple in the series. The humor was sharper since it focused on the antics of the toddler, and the mystery was better.

David Cronenberg’s take on the future of video games is a highly unique and original piece of storytelling and could in some ways be a companion piece to his earlier ‘Videodrome’ tackling similar themes of the body and its relationship with technology. Cronenberg’s script frequently pulls the rug out from under you as he blurs the lines between reality and game. The use of technology born out of reality such as the bone gun and bio ports also means even 20 years later the film hasn’t really dated. A thoroughly entertaining slice of cerebral sci-fi from the master of weird.‬
