Customer Reviews

Loved by both my 2 year old and 6 year old

Ths book is excellent for both younger and older children. My daughter brought it home as a library book from school. My 2 year old son loved it so much I had to go buy it. My daughter had to take it back to school. Prior to that she had me read it evey night. The illustrations are great and the story content even kept me involved. It is a must for any child's library.I think every child at some point dreams of a dragon. It's magical powers, it's ability for flight. "Matthew's Dragon" brings to life, that dream.It is truly magical and wonderful, with a great hero dragon and an enemy cat. Enjoy it, my family did.

A wonderful fantasy with adventure and danger overcome.

After Matthew's mother finishes reading to him, Matthew's dragon comes out of the book and leads Matthew [now small] on a silvery trail out his window. They are menaced by a neighbor cat but escape when the dragon becomes big. They fly to join all other dragons in a magical songfest, then they both return to Matthew's room. A fanciful book with wonderful illustrations.
