Customer Reviews

Wow!

Every page of this book features a full-page (or larger) image of beautiful, weird, and sinuous creatures, with expressive eyes, multi-jointed legs, resplendent wings, and fins that would not look out of place on coral-reef fish. These "dragons"--that's far too tame a word for them--dance, spar, swim, travel, and otherwise go about their everyday lives in settings that are as exotic as their inhabitants. In the process, the reader strolls at a leisurely pace through a poem. And yes, the poem reads as if it were written for children...but I didn't mind in the least!

An artwork that all ages can enjoy

I first came across Rob Brown's work in a calendar a little while ago. It led me to this book. I admire his drawing style and methods, as his dragons portray a spectrum of emotions almost never seen in this day. When viewing them, many make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside! Definately worth getting, if you have a child with a broad imagination, or if you yourself like dragons a lot, and are tired of seeing evil dragons burning villages.

THE BEST GIFT EVER.

My son (5 yo) received the book as a gift from a friend. My son and I are reading this book together, and both he and I love it. The books illustrations are simply amazing. The content of the book is also quite good. Both adults and children will love this story and illustrations. Rob Browns illustrations of dragons kept my son very interested in the book which has now become a regular bedtime story book. This book has also captured the attention of my 10 & 11 year old daughters. They were amazed with the Rob Browns detail and coloration of the dragons throughout the book "Dragon World". The reading level is around 9 - 12 years of age, though a younger child will enjoy reading with an adult and looking at the beautiful illustrations. This would be a wonderful addition to any children's home library.
