Shannon’s Thoughts:

Sofie the Squirrel needs help finishing her alphabet so she asks Panda, who does not feel he fits anywhere, to help her.

A cute way to for a child to learn alphabet and animals. In fact there are some animals I had to look up because I had never seen or heard of them. I really enjoyed the art and cheerfulness of Sofie and Panda learning together and finding their place.

I am not giving 5 stars because I wanted more story so I was sad to see the book end.  I just really like the characters and art. Maybe even if the story was stretched more but it was pretty stretched out for a book on learning your alphabet.

Author Scott Gordon has written many children books and seems to have a real feel for it.  This is the second book I have read by him and I would encourage if you have young children to try his books. This one is especially cute.

Shannon’s Thoughts:


A child receives a pet dragon for Christmas in this picture book written for the author’s son, who has autism.


The book had outstanding graphics with short sentences on each page, telling a charming story .  A good book for those just learning to read. It is a cute picture book and I think the fact that author, Scott Gordon, is planning to make the dragon, Ness, into a series of books.


My only 2 nitpicks is : One, I that I wanted more description and more story with the graphics being so cool.  Two, there is a similar picture book called Me And My Dragon by David Biedrzycik that I love as well, but My Little Pet Dragon ends differently.


Here’s hoping there are more books with Ness and his friends.  I love dragons and I think this would be a great introduction to fantasy for kids.
