I loved this book when I was a child (something like 7-8 years). I always been a lazy reader so I always picked up short books, with lots of colorful drawings and big letters but then, one day, I discovered this gem. A smiling purple dragon hipnotized me and I couldn't ignore it. I mean, it was a dragon.
Then, I started to read.
I was shocked and amazed. That dragon loved to eat raspberries like me. And he was isolated by others, like me. He was alone, but also he just loved to eat the damn raspberries even if they turned him purple.
When I finished, I saw myself coming back some days at the week just to read it. Even when years passed, when I was in the school library for who knows what, I started to look for it because I still liked that book.
And I still do...
