Good time with good friend!

It is a sweet rhyming story about the friendship between a dragon and a ladybug.

Two unlikely friends. One tiny and one huge. Two different looks. Two different individuals. But these differences don’t matter when it comes to a real friendship. Regardless of their sizes and backgrounds two friends found each other and they are having good times.

This book is written in a fun way, easy to read and follow. The illustrations are cute and bright. They support the story beautifully. The fun activities in the end of the book are a real treat. They will keep children busy and curious.

Bottom line: when comes to friendship and having a good time we need to learn how to embrace differences and just have fun with each other.

The artwork supports the story. The characters are adorable, and scenes are pleasant on the eye. The activities at the back of the book are an extra bonus. A great book all around!

What a fantastic book, both from my parent as well as my educator point of view. The rhymes are witty, the vocabulary great for native speakers and nicely challenging for second language learners, which makes it wonderful to use also as a homeschooling or classroom resource, not to mention the activity sheets included at the end: the cherry on top of the cake! Me and my little one loved the illustrations as well, very playful, creative and lively while having something soft and gentle to them, just enough but not too much. Lastly, the theme is beautiful- un unlikely friendship, completing each other while being so different - which is so universally relevant at home and in the classroom! I wholeheartedly recommend it, great as a read, resource or gift.

Many people liked Dr. Seuss because his stories were amazing.
And he created them in rhyme, often filled with nonsense words and tongue twisters.
Forget about Dr. Seuss (he was one-of-a-kind) - and put the cadence aside.
My #1 advice to the author of "MightyDragon and a Tiny Ladybug" is not to write in verses as it is very easy to fall in trap and compose near rhymes, forced rhymes, and cliche rhymes.
My #2 advice is to find a good editor.
Mighty dragon and tiny ladybug will thank you.
By the way, do not feel discouraged by my words.
Please, apply them and you will see a difference.

The stories about the Mighty Dragon and a Tiny Ladybug are very cute and entertaining.
Even if the rhyme is off at times, the idea is very clear and the story contains a great lesson about friendship.

The watercolor illustrations are pretty fun and I am sure children will love them.
I highly recommend this book as well as other book in this series.

A cute book describing friendship between a dragon and a ladybug and the things they do together.

A nice way to explain to kids that you can be friendship can be made with anyone outside of your own culture, creed and true friendship does bring happiness.
