I was really looking forward to loving this book, but I ended up being a little disappointed.
The illustrations were great. Really sweet and evocative with great colors.
This book on the back cover and inside flap make a point to tell you that this book is to drive home a moral point, which was more in-your-face than I expected from a book blurb. However, I soon found that the MORAL/MESSAGE of the story really was that prominent in this story. In fact, it felt that they were trying so hard to make a point that they forgot to really make a plot.
I had hoped that this would be a cute adventure story, but it wasn't much of a story.
There is a seal on the cover that indicates that this is a Peace Dragon Tale, so perhaps there will be a series of books. I'm hoping that this is just the introduction and that any subsequent books will have more action and adventure.

This dragon is stunningly drawn and I loved the ideas of the scales as hearts, including a heart on the tail, as the dragon spreads a message of peace and love. A young explorer runs in to dragon in the woods and although he is initially scared, the dragon convinces him to not be afraid. The explorer takes the dragon back to his village where the villagers immediately judge and fear him simply because he is a dragon. They are won over and see the error of judging based on appearances.
The book has a strong message and it admits that it is trying to teach a lesson of Peace and Love. I recommend picking it up and reading it aloud with the children age 8-9 and under in your life.

This is a book about not judging a book by its cover or in this case a dragon by its appearance. Kids who love dragons will definitely enjoy this. This is a great story that promotes love and peace and acceptance.

Hearts, and scales, and dragons oh my. What a wonderful story and a wonderful lesson. Take time to learn and know about someone/something before snapping to judgment. You just might find love. I have found love with this book. And I can see many teachers, and librarians using it for lessons, and boards, and crafts. Yeahhhh
