- Hi, I'm Michelle Obama and
welcome to Mondays with me,
a series of stories with PBS
Kids and Penguin Random House.
I'm excited to
share today's book,
"There's a Dragon in Your
Book," by Tom Fletcher,
illustrated by Greg Abbott.
Today, we're gonna use
the power of imagination,
along with some
stamping, and blowing,
and a little flapping,
to save this book from
the adorable little dragon
who's hatched inside.
Oh look, there's an
egg in your book.
It looks ready to hatch.
Whatever you do,
don't turn the page.
(gasps) I think we
should turn the page.
I can't believe you did that.
The egg hatched, and look,
there's a dragon in your book.
Don't be scared.
It's a baby dragon, look.
Go ahead and tickle
her little nose.
Here we go, tickle,
tickle, tickle.
(gasps) Achoo!
Aw, she sneezed.
Oops, the dragon
accidentally sneezed
a fire in your book.
We need to put it out quickly.
(gasps) Look, we gotta
help the dragon blow.
C'mon everyone, blow. (blows)
Blow out the flame,
harder, harder.
Let's see what happened.
Uh-oh, you didn't
blow out the fire.
She blew more fire, look.
Carefully, cover the
flames by turning the page
and tamp it down.
That should put them out.
Okay, help me out.
I'm gonna turn the page,
and we're gonna (hand
tapping) pat, pat, pat.
Uh-oh, it didn't work.
The flames are getting bigger.
Wait, don't get too close.
If only we could think of
a way to put out this fire.
What do you think?
That's it!
Let's use our imaginations
to put out the fire.
Imagine a big water balloon
right in the middle
of the next page.
Make sure it's full
and ready to pop.
Okay, let's use
our imaginations.
Think about a balloon,
bigger, bigger.
Okay, let's see what we did.
Perfect, now use your finger
to pop the balloon
and get ready for the
(gasps) splash!
Whoo, there goes Dragon.
Hooray, you put out the fire.
Give Dragon a high five.
C'mon everybody, whoo.
You have a great imagination,
and Dragon must be
a little hungry now.
Why don't you use
your imagination again
and think of a
yummy treat for her?
How about a triple scoop
of yummy ice cream,
chocolate and strawberry?
Let's think about it.
Mmm, oh wow, you did it!
Ice cream with sprinkles!
Wow, that looks delicious.
Mmm, yum, Dragon liked it too.
Well, Dragon must be tired
after all that adventure.
I think it's time
for her to fly home.
She's probably very full.
She's gonna need
some help taking off.
All right, we gotta help her.
Flap the book up and down
like giant dragon wings.
All right, let's do it.
All right, you guys,
flap your wings.
Help her, flap your
wings, flap your wings.
Almost there, keep
flapping, keep flapping.
There she goes.
Goodbye, Dragon, wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye and turn the page.
Hang on a second!
(gasps) What is this?
Oh look, more eggs. (laughs)
Whatever you do,
don't turn the page.
What should we do?
I think we turn the page.
Uh-oh, (laughs) look
they all hatched.
I think it's time to
close the book, carefully.
The end.
Well that was fun.
I hope you guys had
fun, I certainly did.
I can't wait to
see you next week.
Take care, bye, bye.
