There's No Such Thing As a Dragon

Summary: A Problematic Dragon
Review: As much as I hate to admit it, the children's books I buy for my 4-year-old have to appeal to me in some small way, too, or I don't read them very often. Fortunately, my son and I have similar taste, and we both enjoyed this tale about a boy who offers his mother a little lesson about faith in make-believe. The boy persists in his belief in dragons despite his mom's admonitions that they "don't exist." The fairy tale friend just refuses to go away until he becomes so large that he just can't be ignored any longer. Mom, in a charming ending, is proved wrong. It would be nice to see the mother doing more than housework all day, but alas, it's still a fun read!

Summary: Character traits to pass on
Review: Excellent story to pass on to children. Excellent and concise message for adults as well. It's such a good book that you'll more than likely find it hard to find an inexpensive price for this book... unless you can find it in your local thrift store for .29 cents like my wife did!

Summary: Really cute book
Review: I loved this book when I was a kid, and just bought it for the baby we're about to have. It's about a dragon that lives with with a boy but keeps growing to get attention (no one believes he exists).

Summary: My sons favorite book!
Review: I read this story to my son (now in grad. school) countless times, gave the book to others who loved it. Have been unable to find it for some years so when I searched for that title on a whim I was excited to find I can now start sending it as a gift again.
Thanks for having it available.

Summary: A hilarious fantasy
Review: Jack Kent's There's No Such Thing As A Dragon tells of a mother who refuses to believe in dragons - even when her son finds a small one. Ignored, the dragon grows until he fills the entire house by noon. A hilarious fantasy.

Summary: Terrific book for all ages!
Review: My search for a replacement copy of There's No Such Thing As A Dragon continues... not only was it a favourite of my children when they wre young, but also so meaningful to the teens in my behavioural classes that someone took my only copy! It is excellent for introducing a myriad of issues that such teens deal with - abuse, drugs, alcohol etc.

Summary: Acknowlege the dragon
Review: This is a book my daughter loved. But there's a message for adults in this little story as well. Acknowlege the dragon(s) in your life, and they will become managable. Ignore (deny) them, and they will become as big as a house.
