"I have loved this book my entire life. The story is sweet and telling, and has some wonderful language to play with (epithets for characters, repetitious alliteration), and the art is breathtaking, glimmering with gold and red and all the beauty of a true dragon."
"Katy says she tells this story, which I bet is great. It's a little long for storytime and the pictures are dense, so it's a great story to tell, although I will probably never get around to learning it. Enjoyed the read though!"
