What caught my eye was the illustrations by Bobbi Switzer. You can’t help but fall in love with these two child-like dragons. One is covered in what looks like gumdrops and the other has a mane that reminds me of candy canes.
Once inside the book, I found a soothing rhyme of a wonderful adventure. And day trip that is fun to read about, easy on the eyes, and a story that teaches children the almost forgotten responsibility to remember others.
The candy-breathing dragons encounter a puppy with no feet. While he explained about others who made fun of him, the dragons were left with a feeling of mystery. God makes each of us special and unique – all should be accepted in His kingdom.
Next, the honey bear is lost. He got turned around and could not find the honey he longed for. The dragons gave him directions and the bear was, once again, on the right path.
The blind kitty, Mrs. Pookie, was especially endearing. She is alone and needs someone to care for her. She knows of a woman who will take her in, but she needs help getting to the woman’s home. Once there, she is welcomed in as part of the woman’s family.
The stories continue on until the two dragons soon discover they are tired and lost. They find shelter in a barn and wake up to find they are not where they were the previous night. Someone is there to help them – reminding them that they gave the same advice yesterday and that advice will see them home.
This is for the younger crowd – 6-8 year olds. However, an adult reading this to a child will bring both a better understanding and may open a line of communication that may have previously been blocked.
The author is a retired bookkeeper from Buffalo, New York. She writes that she would like to turn this book into a “series” – helping children with her gift. I sincerely hope the author fulfills her plan and takes on more serious subjects for the dragons.
