review 1: I like dragons, and the illustrations are great!Unlike other commentators who like me didn't know what the book is about, I am glad I read it: there are too many people in this world who don't understand the "purpose" of Nature, and that's why they should be educated early.Doesn't mean that children need to be brainwashed: right now, to my daughter, it's just a book about cute colorful dragons, the real purpose will come later.No, really, finally a book with a meaning and not just meaningless bunnies and kitties everywhere!
review 2: This book was blatant indoctrination at its best. I picked it up because my daughter thought it looked cute, but it's all about how the dragons overpopulate their world, cut down all of the trees and melt the polor icecaps (the pi... morecture of the other animals hanging on for dear life as it floods, begging the dragons to change their ways is priceless). All you had to do is replace 'dragon' with 'human' and there you have my beef with the book. I'm all for taking care of this beautiful world that we have been blessed with and try in every way to do my part, but putting out a kids picture/story book about how it is all our fault, which starts with overpopulation, really grated on my nerves. I don't normally review picture/story books unless they are really good, but this one really made me mad. less
