A very sweet, comforting read. Perfect introduction for children to become comfortable with the writing style of classics.

The kiddos liked this one enough to ask to listen to it twice today and finished it instead of waiting for tomorrow. That's a pretty strong endorsement, I'd say.

This was a cute and short read with an interesting take on the Story of St. George and the Dragon. It was a fun story about a dragon that doesn't want to do dragonish things and a boy that likes reading books. The dragon is a poet and storyteller.

Turns fairy tales on their heads with a lazy dragon and a boy learning what bravado the world gets up to when people think they know the story.

Mildly amusing but nothing special. We picked this as a quickie while waiting for one of our holds to become available.

A fun enough story. I love to read aloud but the way this was written had me stumbling at times. It actually took us a few tries to get into it but I think my kids enjoyed it.
