Book Reviews of The Tale of Custard the Dragon
Book Review: One of my favorites & a wonderful read-aloud!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely one of the best books out there! I am a teacher and I enjoy reading this book immensely. The story is fun and whimsical to read. While one reviewer was "upset" by how the other characters were not very empathetic to Custard's fears and even teased him, I look at this aspect of the book as an opportunity to discuss it with my students and my 3 children. It's a great springboard into a discussion on kindness and perspective. Whatever you do, don't pass this one up because of that review. I was amazed this book had less than 5 stars. Parents will love reading this to their children. Also, a great discussion on the true meaning of bravery can ensue as a result of this book.Book Review: Wonderful illustrated peom by Ogden Nash
Summary: 5 Stars
This Ogden Nash poem has always been a family favorite and this illustrated version is a delight.
It would be even better if it hasd a stiffer or hard cover (the cover is very thin) as kids will be reading it often. I gave it to my new niece for her birthday and most of the "adults" read it too or already knew it by heart.
Book Review: Timeless Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother read this poem to us out of a Childcraft book -- we all memorized the story because we loved it so much. I am so excited to be able to buy the book version to keep forever and hopefully read to my own children one day!Book Review: The Tale of Custard the Dragon
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book as a holiday gift for "tween" members of the family.
At this time, no feedback has come from the kids, so all I can say about it is that the book was accurately described and shipped promptly.
Book Review: great rhyming and illustrations!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love Lynn Munsinger's illustrations. Ogden Nash's story is really brought to life in this and the followup of Custard the Dragon. I like the idea of a harmless dragon for younger kids. Excellent read.
