This is the 7th book in this series called Tales of the Frog Princess. It's about the Frog Princess Emerelda's daughter named Millie. Millie is in love with a dragon named Audun, but of course she cannot marry him. Audun loves her as well and yearns to win her heart and become human. Audun asks the King dragon if there was any way he could become human, and the king tells him he must complete a few tasks before becoming human. Audun agrees, but these are dangerous tasks, and Audun can quite easily get killed. Will Audun survive this perilous journey and win the beautiful Millie's heart? Or will everything come to nothing and Audun never get's to see Millie's face again?
Well, these questions shall have answers if you read Dragon Kiss by E.D Baker. It's a great book by the way so get a bowl of ice cream, grab your book, and enjoy the ride.

Euclid: The Great Geometer by Chris Hayhurst
If you're looking for a book about Euclid's life, you won't find one, but this book comes the closest to doing that.
Although historians don't know much about Euclid, the little they know is all wrapped up in this book. Euclid didn't actually invent geometry because how did the ancient Egyptians build the pyramids without knowing any geometry? Euclid did revolutionize geometry though. He wrote a book called The Elements, which told all about his discoveries with math. Many people looked up to him, and some even thought him God. Of course this was not true, although Euclid was one of the smartest men ever to live. Historians could not discover much about Euclid because he did not really say much about himself during his life due to lack of paper. However historians do know that Euclid was a very humorous man, and joked around to his students. Euclid studied a great deal in Alexandria Library, the biggest library in the world!
Well, that's it about Euclid, Happy Reading! :)
