5.0 out of 5 stars Saddest kid's story ever 17 Sep 2005
By Nicholas Sillito
Format:Paperback
Dav Pikeys books are first rate. His "Mighty Robot" series was exciting enough to motivate my six year old to start reading books for himself. I bought "A friend for Dragon" because I saw it on Dav's (also excellent) web-site.

This book, probably aimed at 4-5 year olds, tells the story of how a lonely dragon is tricked by a snake into befriending an apple. Ultimately the apple comes to an untimely end and the dragon is heart broken. The book is well written and beautifully written (and can bring a tear to any parent's eye). Thanks Dav.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pilkey shows wonderful creativity and versatility. 7 May 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Most kids have been lonely at times, and can readily identify with Dragon when he quickly takes to his new friend. Pilkey also encourages kids to feel sympathetic to Dragon when things don't go his way. Combined with stunning artwork, at times reminiscent of Van Gogh, Pilkey's "Dragon Tales" offer a wonderful way for kids to explore feelings while enjoying a good, fun story. My kids (ages 5 and 6) love all of Dav Pilkey's books, including "Captain Underpants," but the "Dragon Tales" are among our favorites.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adorable! Dave Pilkey's best story! 29 Aug 2002
By S. Brand - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I know Dav Pilkey has written a lot of funny books which can make both kids and adults laugh, but I consider his Dragon series to be the best, and of those, A Friend for Dragon is tops! I have returned to this book many times to read to school children, and they are glued to the gullible dragon who falls for the trick that an apple is alive and can speak. We laugh as Dragon tries to communicate with his best friend, the apple, and worry when the apple is bitten into and finally dies. Dragon goes through a grieving process, but the story ends on an upbeat, optimistic tone, and we are all touched by the sweet humor and poignancy of this story. This is one of my all-time favorite children's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars SWEET! 27 Sep 2002
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I bought this book because I was doing a unit on Friendship with my students. I loved this book as did my own children and students! It is a chapter book that can be read in one sitting. We were all touched by the fact that Dragon was looking for a friend. While the kids laughed at how he made friends with an apple, they learned for science the life cycle of an apple! I love the part where Dragon takes Apple to the Dr. and at the end of that part he took home a brown mushy thing. It is really a sweet book with great illustrations. I love all Dav Pilkey books! I highly recommend this book. I plan on getting others in this series!
