In this warmhearted friendship story of love and loss, Dav Pilkey has created a lovable hero that everyone will cheer for!
{My thoughts} – This is a fun little reader story about a dragon that really wants a friend. Dragon is sitting under a apple tree and an apple falls onto his head. A nearby snake wants to play a joke and talks to dragon. Dragon thinks it is the apple.
There are five short chapters within this book all about Dragon and his friend Apple. I really like how imagination comes out in this book. I also like how simple and easy it is for younger readers to read and understand.
The story within this book is illustrated with bright and cartoonist illustrations. The text and the illustrations go together really nicely and tell a wonderful story for those beginning to read more books.
I really enjoy these beginner books for children and are enjoying having the opportunity to read and review them. I look forward to reading more of these stories and books in the near future.
Final Conclusion: 5 Star Rating.
