Book Reviews of A Friend For Dragon (Dragons)
Book Review: My son liked it.
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this and placed it on our bookshelf. My 4.5 year old son saw and immediately wanted to me to read it. He enjoyed it.
It is somewhere between a picture book and a chapter book. There are pictures on every page, but it is divided into chapters. It is quite short.
The story is about a dragon who wants a friend. An apple falls on his head. A snake pretends to be the apple and talks to the dragon. The dragon becomes friends with the apple and takes it home. They have fun together.
But then the apple won't talk (because the snake is no longer around.) The dragon gets worried and takes it to the doctor. There is a walrus in the waiting room. When Dragon gets up for some water, the walrus eats the apple. All is left is the apple core. Dragon take the apple home. It turns brown and dies. He buries it outside and is sad. "But after a while, Dragon stopped being so sad. He cried less and less. He began to eat and sleep better. Still, he was very lonely."
The apple core grows into a huge apple tree. Dragon, feeling lonely, goes outside and another apple falls on his head. There are many apples on the tree. The end.
I though it was a nice, thoughtful book about death. My son and I talked about death after reading it.
