enter the dragon

This is a wonderful book. My 6 year old grandson is old enough to understand the stories and the brilliant Hague illustrations will delight but not terrify him. No more "monsters under the bed and in the closet episodes." I appreciate the classic selection of writers chosen by Hague and the...

IT WAS OK

This book is only some dragon stories selected from different books and myths( like The Hobbit and The Voyge of the Dawn Treader),but is still a pretty well done book, you will probably enjoy it if you REALLY like dragons.

It had ok stories about people who fought dragons and stuff like that. Most of the stories where pretty interesting and that I've never seen before, but the...
