AlbakiReads Editorial

A counting adventure with 100 dragons named Broccoli

David LaRochelle turns counting into a series of departures from a mountain home: dragons blow away, head to Hawaii to surf, travel to New York City, or are transformed by a wizard. Each change invites young readers to keep track of how many remain, giving the numbers a place in the story rather than presenting them as an isolated exercise. The many Broccolis also make the book’s central joke part of its counting premise. With 40 pages devoted to the dragons’ increasingly varied whereabouts, the story offers a playful way to practice counting and subtraction through illustrated adventure.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who are learning to count or work with numbers.
  • Young readers who enjoy dragons and silly, imaginative situations.
  • Adults seeking a picture book that brings counting into a story.

Book overview

"A nonstop dragon party . . . Irresistible." --Publishers Weekly

This wacky counting adventure by Geisel Award-winning author David LaRochelle is a hilarious ode to dragons and math, with pitch-perfect art by Lian Cho.

High on a mountain live 100 mighty dragons all named Broccoli. When a tremendous wind blows half the dragons away, ten others sail off to become professional surfers in Hawaii. The oldest and youngest dragons take a train to New York City to start their own heavy metal band. And a mysterious wizard turns four more into a unicorn, a werewolf, a zombie, and a tiny pink poodle. Now how many dragons are left? Young readers will delight in following each and every dragon as they leave their home for marvelous adventures, until there is but one dragon remaining. That's when this final dragon named Broccoli retreats to a cave for the winter and reappears in the spring with a surprise that will thrill and delight. Prepare to read again!
