review 1: I wanted to LOVE this book, but it turns out that I just didn't. I simply liked more than medium. I enjoy dragon stories and collect them for my students' selection in our collection. I loved the art in this book, but found the story to be too sparse. I just wanted more story. It's a great book to illustrate onomatopoeia, but character development is minimal. I'll be buying this one, but it isn't a priority acquisition.
review 2: This book makes me laugh. Little Dragons antics remind me so much of a toddler, who loves to play but who doesn't like to get cleaned up. I seriously admire his mother's patience. The illustrations are delightful, full of color and life. The splashes of bright orange and red for the fire are impossible to ignore. This book is ... morealso perfect for helping children learn about solving problems. When Little Dragon's fire goes out at first he tries to solve the problem himself. When that doesn't work, he goes to his mother and she provides the help he needs. I also appreciate the ending where Little Dragon has learned the value of prevention. The ongoing refrain of "Oh, No" makes this perfect for an interactive storytime. I highly recommend this fun book. less
