Bookroo's summary

A boy, armed with scissors and tape, transforms into a dragon, ready to roar. But when two real dragons visit, they face a playful dilemma: he can't breathe fire, and they can't enjoy ice cream. As they navigate their differences, they find joy in shared laughter and silly dances. Can they prove that friendship is more than appearances? Discover how these unlikely friends learn what truly matters in this delightful tale of imagination and camaraderie.

From the publisher

A little boy and two dragons discover what really matters about friendship in this charming picture book from the author of Me Want Pet and Mostly Monsterly. With scissors and tape a boy transforms himself into…a dragon! “ROAR!” he says. He is BIG. He is SCARY. Well, not really. When two dragons come over for a play date, what on earth will these three find to do together? The boy doesn’t have big teeth and he can’t breathe fire. He is just a boy. And the dragons can’t eat ice cream or do cartwheels. They are just dragons. Luckily, the dragons care more about what they all can do together, like make silly faces and do the funky monkey dance. What they really care about is being friends. With simple, humorous text and classic, expressive line illustrations, Roar! is fun, short, and ready to be shared again and again.
