I liked some of the illustrations and puzzles. I didn’t particularly enjoy the characters or plot.

Fun

"Crunch...Crackle...Munch...Slurp..." the sounds were coming from the large cupboard in the farthest, darkest corner of the kitchen. When George and Lottie open the doors, they are amazed to discover a small, friendly and very hungry dragon. He is lost and needs their help to find his way home.

Each story in this charmingly illustrated series has picture puzzles threaded through it, which will involve the reader in the action and add to their ppleasure. Younger children can share these books with an adult, more confident readers can enjoy them on their own. Either was they will capture the imaginationa of all.

This is a fun story, filled with puzzles, mazes, and challenging questions that encourage children to be observant and find the hidden details that help them better understand the context of the story. I think it was fun, and somewhat educational, too. The story itself is interesting and our girls loved the puzzles. We really enjoyed reading this book together.

It's a very wordy kids book. My boys liked it from ages 5 - 7 = = but it took many nights for us to read it.

This is a great interactive book to do with kids in a class room or at home to see if they can find things that the book is talking about. It is also a cute book to read about a dragon heading home.
