Book Description

Publication Date: 7 Oct 2004
Here is a collection of fabulously funny poems put together by John Foster and illustrated with creative genius by Korky Paul. There are poems by a range of authors about dragons in all sorts of situations - chasing teachers, playing the banjo, feasting, fighting knights, or being taken home as pets. Guaranteed to delight, this is a perfect introduction to poetry either at home or at school.

John Foster and Korky Paul's poetry partnership began over 10 years ago, with the publication of Dragon Poems. The combination of John's inspired and witty selection of poems, with Korky's crazily imaginative and anarchic illustrations, has proved exceptionally popular.

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic fantasy 13 Oct 2003
By Amber J. Burton VINE™ VOICE
Format:Paperback
My 5 year old son loves this book. He has just started getting to grips with poetry at school and so loves spotting the rhyming words and finding out the meanings of new words introduced in the poems. Beautifully illustrated, try counting the spiders in *every* picture! Lots of dragons and lots of feelings explored, from sad, happy, lonely, silly as well as the scary. Fully recommended for sharing, reading and discussing. My son liked it so much he took it to school and got his teacher to read out several of the poems to his classmates.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for young dragon-lovers 29 Jan 2003
By A. Craig HALL OF FAME
Format:Hardcover
If you have a child of 5+ who loves dragons and dinosaurs but might be slightly afraid of them too, this is the perfect book. The poems and pictures are hilarious, and if you have a real fanatic you might be interested in the couple's CD-Rom, Dragons! (from OUP) which has kept many small boys happy for hours and also taught them something besides agility with a mouse.
