Mae and The Dragon

Thank you to Annabel and Celeste!  They shared with me the two part story of "Mae and the Dragon" from their issue of "Spider Magazine".  It is a fascinating story about a piano student who discovers a dragon living outside of her piano teacher's home.  I cannot wait for Annabel and Celeste to bring me their next issue to find out what happens next!  We will leave a copy of this story in the piano room if you are interested in this story too!  Stay tuned for more updates!  I wonder if I have a dragon living in the trees behind my house?!

Best wishes!

Best wishes to Celeste, Lucy P. and Bridget who will performing in different shows of a local production of "Hairspray" today!
