There’s definitely a reason this book won a prize. The dragon is a wonderful character with just the right mixture of danger and fun. My 8 year old son loved watching the boy try to escape from the dragon, and all the fun things which happened in between. And the ending (which I’m definitely NOT going to give away) is great! Of course, it meant we had to read the entire book again. As tends to be the case with Annie’s picture books, the illustrations are fantastic.

What a fantastic dragon tale. I have two young boys, and this book was a hit with both of them. The rhyming versus make for a sing song feel that keeps my two year old interested. My seven year old really enjoyed the twist at the end. The artwork and font selection add a nice touch as well. We will treasure this story in my home for years to come. This is a dragon book worth owning!
