At the beach, the pool and even in the snow, the dragon is always there. Friendship rings loud and clear in these pages, and a very special kind.

It's inspiring and shows what real love and friendship really is, even if it's with something as wonderful as a dragon. The addition of the little brother adds a nice, family warmth. In other words, this is a wholesome read which leaves young listeners feeling loved, while inviting them to dream away. The illustrations and book are perfect for the intended age group.
