Stichley's Rating:
This book was completely different from what I was expecting. It was different from every other dragon book I have ever read. I enjoyed it, but it was not the intelligent dragon that I was thinking there would be. I don't want to say much. Obert Skye's book is not that long and as an adult you can read it in just a couple of sittings, but it is one that is fun to read to younger kids. I really don't remember there being any swearing or anything inappropriate. The only thing that would make it hard for real little kids is the concepts of the greed and courage, and some destruction that occurs in the book.
