I read this book when i was seven or eight, and absolutely loved it. For months afterwards i dreamed of having my own pet dragon, like Dando in the book. :)
I definitely want to get a copy of the book so i can read it again. I recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy. And dragons.
It is probably thanks to this book that i enjoy books like Eragon (Inheritance Cycle) so much.

Good... but it takes awhile to get there!
20 Feb 2009
Format:Mass Market Paperback
My 2nd grade son was very excited to buy this book, but once reading it, he stopped because it was so sad. He asked me to read it first and let him know if it gets better. It does, but it takes awhile to get there! Just when you think things are pretty bad for the poor little dragon... they get worse. Things don't get better until the very end, and even then, the plot could have continued on a bit more.
Good book, but beware for sensitive readers!

Wonderful storybook for young dragon lovers
12 July 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The Dragon's Child is paperback fantasy story (with a cover cut in the shape of a dragon) for young readers about a flightless dragon child, separated from his mother, and the human children he befriends. Little Dando was hatched late in the season, and his wings haven't formed well enough to fly. His dragon clan is leaving the area forever to find their homeland, and when he falls off his mother's back, he's stranded, all alone except for a friendly bird. When a strange tribe of people comes to colonize the island, Dando befriends a young slave girl among their number - but the irascible son of the chieftain spots Dando and decides to capture him! The terrible humans aren't the only threat though - a pack of vicious animals called Doggins roam the woods, posing a deadly threat to bird, dragon, and humans alike! Little Dando must find the strength within himself to be worthy of his noble dragon name, and save his friends as well as himself - fortunately, he just might get some help from a former enemy's unexpected change of heart! A handful of simple black-and-white illustrations enhance this wonderful storybook for young dragon lovers who are ready to move on from picture books to more involved fare.
Not what you see pictured

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Book is cut into the shape of the dragon pictured. The book is not a standard "square" book. As such, the sharper angled cuts are frail and, as evidenced by the copy I received, are susceptible to damage. I'm disappointed that a seller that seems to move a lot of books couldn't take better care with this one.
