Dragon Egg (Step into Reading)
by Mallory Loehr, illustrated by Hala Wittwer

A BIG EGG TOTTERS, tips, and falls out of its nest. It rolls down a hill, past a castle, and through a town. Along the way, curious people and animals gather to watch. When the egg finally cracks open, they get a surprise. Inside is a baby dragon!

This is a great series (Step Into Reading) for beginning readers, and given how much our students seem to be obsessed with dragons lately (the new unicorns, maybe?), this is likely to be a high-interest reader that even reluctant readers will feel motivated to decode.
