5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book for young children, 11 Jun 2001
By jolinzey@aol.com (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: There's No Such Thing as a Dragon (Hardcover)
This a great book. As a story for children it is really exciting, imagine having a dragon in your house who keeps growing and your Mum doesn't notice. For teachers it's really useful for doing work on size comparison - big, bigger, biggest etc - and for talking about the idea of someone wanting to be noticed and the lengths they go to to get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A well told modern fable with an important message for all!, 12 Feb 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: There's No Such Thing as a Dragon (Paperback)
This book tells a disarmingly simple story of a boy who wakes up to discover a kitten sized dragon in his bedroom. He strokes it and all is well. Things begin to go wrong however when he tells his mother. His attempt to act on her firmly stated belief that there is no such thing as a dragon lead to all sorts of escalating problems for them both. The situation is finally resolved happily, but only after it has been fully acknowledged and the dragon 'owned' for what it is. This is a modern fable with a fairly profound 'moral' about the importance of dealing with problems or new situations with honesty and realism and the dangers of denial!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book for all, 14 Sep 2009
This review is from: There's No Such Thing as a Dragon (Hardcover)
We have just discovered this book again while sorting out bedrooms. My 10 year old read it to my 7 year old last night and they were both chortling at the antics of the dragon despite having heard the story several times a few years ago. As a previous review says, the story can be a basis for discussion for various issues but it is also great fun to read just for itself. Jack Kent has a nice understated humour and the illustrations go really well with the text.
