 Treasured by three generations October 26, 2008
E. Williamson (Chicago area, IL)
Grandpa and I purchased this for our (then) 3-year old grandson. We knew that his mom had loved the song as a child herself, but we weren't sure how our little guy would feel about dragons in general or Puff in particular.
He was thrilled with the beautiful artistry of the book and the story that unfolded within. We think his mom may be just as captivated by it. And all of us enjoyed the experience together of playing the CD, singing along, and following along in the book.
Our little guy enjoyed the magic of this set so much he asked to have it put with his "special books" so it will be safe for another day in Honalee.

This story has always been special to me, but this book is great. The pictures are so sweet, perfect for the story. If you like this story you have to have this book.

 Puff Comes to Life with Twist Ending September 5, 2008

Review by Sherry North, Author, Because You Are My Baby
The classic song about a boy who grows out of his love for a dragon pal lends itself beautifully to a children's book. The illustrations are simple yet intriguing without being overly cartoonish, as Puff and Jackie Paper act out the verses of the song. And the illustrator adds a lovely twist - a new friend for Puff - to help soften the song's bittersweet ending.
I only have two cautions about this book. One is that even with the new ending, the part where Jackie stops visiting Puff is still very sad. Sensitive children might feel heartbroken for a bit. And my other complaint is that the book uses the exact lyrics of the song, except for one place: "Dragons live forever, but not so little boys and girls." Adding girls here completely ruins the rhythm and was unnecessary. Girls won't feel left out, because the illustrations show a girl befriending Puff at the end.
