The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame

I listened to the audiobook, and loved the narrator! The story was cute, though had a couple spots where I questioned the judgment of descriptive terms. Ex. "whooping like a little red Indian". showed it was dated and might require some important discussions with children on why some descriptions are offensive. Otherwise, the story had a nice message and was pleasant to listen too!

I guess I thought this would be more interesting/entertaining? It was enjoyable, but that's about it.

*Reading Books for 5 months that Inspired Disney Before Disney World Trip Book Three*

This is a book I haven't read since childhood. The dragon just wants a simple life of not fighting. He is a dragon that does not want to work (same), and just wants others to leave him alone when it comes to drama (same Dragon, same). Of course, he does want to socialize, to bad the whole town is making mean rumours about him. Poor dragon is stuck in Jr. High! The good news is the boy, dragon and knight come up with a scheme to solve all this so the dragon can live peacefully and have a social life.

Overall, this is a really cute story. Can't wait to watch the movie.

The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame – A sweet, classic dragon fairy tale! I read it years ago, but I took advantage of my Audible subscription to have a bedtime story! Happy Reading!
