Dragon knows he is supposed to be brave—because that’s what dragons do. He’s so brave and valiant, he’s ready to try out his fearsome roar! But when he hears something that scares him, he turns to his forest friends to find the noise, and to help him be brave.
Young readers will relate to Dragon’s fears, and delight in his quest to be brave. Bestselling author/artist David Kirk, creator of the popular Miss Spider series, has created another beautiful, meaningful picture book to follow Oh So Tiny.
This review was done by my 9 year old daughter with a little assistance by me (mostly the typing and rephrasing of some things).
The characters in this story are Dragon and forest animals. Dragon tries to act brave and protect the animals, but he's really scared of his own roar. He talks big, like he's the bravest ever, but really, he's more scared than the little forest animals. Once he pulls all the forest friends in and they work together to defeat the monster (non-existant as far as we can tell) he's brave and with his friends by his side.
The story is really short. It only takes minutes to read.
The pictures are colorful and I like the dragon pictures and all the forest animals. I like the pictures when his mouth is open and when he roars.
This book is good for little kids cause it's really short. It teaches kids that it's okay to be scared but if you have your friends you can be together and maybe be brave.
What an adorable cover and a wonderful review by your daughter! I love the message of friendship :)

I love this cover! So bright and colorful. I really think my son would love this book. :)
ReplyDeleteThis one looks super cute! I love dragons. If only my nieces were a bit younger!
ReplyDeleteAww...your daughter's review is absolutely wonderful! <3 She definitely has potential to be a fabulous book blogger just like you when she's older! ;) When I was younger, one of my favorite songs was Puff the Magic Dragon, and for some reason this really reminds me of that song - LOL! I absolutely love reading picture books with my younger sister, so I'll definitely check this one out! Thanks for sharing! <3

What an absolutely fantastic review!!!! I'm always on the lookout for books for my nieces, and though they're a bit younger than your daughter Candace, I'm adding this to the list for them. My oldest niece is HUGE on dinosaurs at the moment, so I think dragons might work as well:)
ReplyDeleteHope your daughter comes back and shares her thoughts again!
What a fabulous review! Your daughter did an excellent job. :) Sounds like a super cute book!
