Shannon’s Thoughts:

Quaint illustrations of a cranky dragon and child, with a charming story of them enjoying a night together before bed.

I picked this book up for my two year old nephew.  I got the book not just because he is at a stage where even board books have a short life but because it had a dragon.  I love dragon stories and hope to spread that love to my nephew.  The art is one of the best things about this book.

The story unfortunately is a little lacking for me.  The art and writing do not quite fit sometimes and I can not really place why that is.  I do not think that is something kids would pick up on though, which is why I still purchased it.

In the end dragons and children are a wonderful mix.  Especially in this cute form.

What is it About?

Brightly clothed fairies teach color with sparkles and rhymes.

My Thoughts:

Good for a baby thru toddler years this board book has cut out on each page of the colorful dresses of the fairy.  The colors have sparkly and shiny texture.  The story seems to be a short poem with a little bit of rhyming and learning.

The book is pretty simple.  Simple isn’t bad but to me I like something isn’t  as simple as this. I think that it is pretty and the short story is okay. Probably better for a girl then a boy although that doesn’t mean it couldn’t be for a boy.
