Summary: Sophisticated, Yet Fun
Review: After reading the details on this book I have to admit that I was dissapointed when I received it. Not only was it a smaller book than I anticipated, but I felt somewhat "empty" after reading it.I love dragons, but found that the dragons in these poems were remote and a little unbelievable. The artwork is beautiful though.

Summary: Neat book!
Review: I think this is a good poetry book for kids, especially 5 and six year olds. My favorates are "I am an amiable dragon and I am Boom!"

Summary: This is poetry to inspire children & adults alike.
Review: I took a chance on Jack Prelutsky's gifted poetry and read this book to my son's 2nd Grade class, instead of a run-of-the-mill story. The children were enthralled. They really longed for the world to have dragons again, real or otherwise. Never mind that some of the vocabulary was a bit sophisticated for them (My Dragon's Been Disconsolate), they wanted to hear every poem, not just those I'd selected for them. My son returns to the book to gaze at Peter Sis' whimsical illustrations and read the poetry over again every so often. I peek over his shoulder each time!

Summary: Have you ever met a "Nasty Dragon"?
Review: My three year old son loves dragons, but they also scare him sometimes too. This book is one of his favorites because the poems are fun (like "Nasty little dragonsong" and "I have a dozen dragons", to name a couple) and the illustrations are not scary at all. We enjoy looking at the pictures and he loves to hear the poems. In fact, the poem called "I am boom!" the thunder dragon has made him a little less frightened of thunderstorms. We just say "There's that old boom again!" and he settles down, whenever thunder is rolling overhead. If your child is interested in dragons, this is a great edition to your library. Lovely illustrations and fun-to-read poems.

Summary: An excellent 4-year old book.
Review: Our 4-year old loved this book. Lots of different personalities and voices. His favorite was Boom and he walks around the house pretending to be Boom. The drawings are excellent and complex enough to get our son to ask questions about why the dragon has trees growing on him, etc.

Summary: A great dragon book for dragon-lovers of any age.
Review: The "Chicago Tribune" said that this book is for kids age 12 and under. I have to say I can't agree . . . this book is perfect for dragon- and fantasy-lovers of _any_ age! Poems like, "If you don't believe in dragons,/it is curiously true/that the dragons you disparage/choose to not believe in you." make this book one of the best you can buy. With enchanting poems and absoulutly gorgous pictures, it makes you realize dragons surely exist. I'm sure any dragon would recomend it to you!

Summary: Totally delightful!
Review: This book has beautiful illustrations, clever and funny verses that delighted my grandchildren, ages 5 and 6. The author does not "talk down" to children, but challenges them to add vocabulary with his choice of word usage. So refreshing and a wonderful change from so much of what is written for children these days. I heartily recommend this book.
