LitPick Review
Nickerbacher is a book about the dragon Nickerbacher and how he becomes a comedian. Nickerbacher is an ordinary dragon, only there are some exceptions. Nickerbacher doesn't want to eat humans; he wants to become a comedian, but his father won't let him be one.
Nickerbacher has been set with the task of guarding Gwendolyn for as long as he can remember. Over the years, Gwendolyn and Nickerbacher have become great friends. When a prince comes along to "rescue" princess Gwendolyn, Nickerbacher finally has a chance to become what he's always dreamed of becoming: a comedian.
Opinion:
Nickerbacher was a quirky story about following one's dreams and the power of friendship. Terry John Barto's book was laced with humor, and young readers will really enjoy this book. The characters were lacking a little in detail, but the illustrations helped me understand the characters better. One good part about the book was the clever solution to get Nickerbacher to the audition. I thought the illustrator did a great job on Nickerbacher! I feel someone in the range of 7-11 would like this book.
