This book is super. It's organized like a mini chapter book, with a table of contents. My 4-year old was very excited about this. Dragon, the main character, is so lovable--he makes the cutest mistakes, either by having too small pumpkins or wearing too many costumes--and works out his problems with his friends, always with a funny ending to each story. This was the one book that, of all of her Halloween books, had to be read -every- night, sometimes twice per night, for the entire month of October. There are a lot of phonetic elements that she really enjoyed, as well, and the words are generally simple, so after a read or two your child is recognizing the words as prompts to a partially memorized story (very pre-reading, with cues from the first few letters of the word). Love this book, had to order a copy because taking it back to the library was a sad day for the whole family!
