Book Reviews of The Tale of Custard the Dragon
Book Review: Custard the Dragon
Summary: 4 Stars
Cute story about how a dragon who is usually pretty timid suddenly turns brave in order to protect his friends from a mean pirate. Not too long, good for short attention spans!!Book Review: Mean spirited
Summary: 2 Stars
Isn't anyone else bothered by how mean the other characters are to Custard? All he wants is to be in his own little cage, safe and sound, but they all make fun of him! He is "teased unmerciful" and constantly taunted by the others.Even when he makes his wonderful courageous stand, the others end up belittling him!
Yes, the language flows beautifully and I LOVE the description of Custard. But, typical of Nash, the mean-spiritedness of the characters overshadows everything else.
