Book Reviews of Puff, the Magic Dragon (Music Sales America)

Book Review: It has been fun revisiting Honalee with my preschooler:)
Summary: 5 Stars

I was quite excited (even more so than my almost 5-year-old) when I saw this book version of "Puff, the Magic Dragon" with an accompanying CD recorded by Peter Yarrow (of "Peter, Paul, and Mary") and his daughter, Bethany, together with cellist Rufus Cappadocia. It has been money well-spent - firstly, the book consists of the lyrics of the song presented as a story with accompanying illustrations. The illustrations are in full-color, and quite simple really, without much embellishment. I liked this as I felt it allowed for my preschooler's imagination to take flight, and she was simply charmed by the illustrations as well as the accompanying song. In fact, we kept playing the CD over and over, as we flipped the pages and followed the story via the song. What a magical experience!

There are four recordings on the CD - the first is "Puff, the Magic Dragon" sung by Peter Yarrow and his daughter Bethany, followed by another two songs (one of which is Froggy Went a Courtin') and finally, an instrumental version of "Puff". This was not only a nostalgic trip down memory lane for me, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience for my daughter as well. She loves books that have accompanying CDs, and enjoyed listening to the song over and over as we sang along. Highly recommended!

Summary of Puff, the Magic Dragon (Music Sales America)

Puff, the Magic Dragon is simply one of the most beloved songs of all time-a classic that's become as much a part of the childhood experience as Mother Goose and fairy tales. Yet singer/songwriter Peter Yarrow and co-composer Lenny Lipton have never allowed a picture book adaptation of this magical tale.until now. With Yarrow's and Lipton's blessing, Puff, Jackie Paper, and the land of Honalee finally live on the page. The exquisite package includes a cloth case with a tipped-in illustration and an embossed jacket with foil touches, as well as an exclusive CD featuring not only Puff, but several other songs performed by Yarrow, his daughter Bethany, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia. This is a publishing event sure to attract broad attention and please Puff's many fans.
In richly-hued paintings of the deepest sea blues and greens, Puff and his friend Jackie Paper frolic in the land of Honalee-traveling in a fantastic boat with billowed sails, climbing red castle stairs onto a balcony to meet with noble kings and princes, and watching pirate ships lower their flags for the roaring dragon. Artist Eric Puybaret has brought an entire magical world into being with enthralling landscapes, color, and characters. And everyone will love the way the art cleverly turns the song's end, which at first seemed so sad, into a surprising and joyful moment.
Best of all-this is only the first of many more collaborations with Peter Yarrow to come!
