I'm usually not the biggest fan of children's books but this was so cute I read it twice (back-to-back).
The illustrations are not entirely my cup of tea but the story is really great, especially for very young children.
I just couldn't resist and read it another time the next morning :-D

Purple Dragon
Brings all the warm fuzzies at the end. Purple dragon makes the reader realize that love has no boundary for anyone.

Short and Sweet
I chose this rating because the book was cute, fun to the point, and short. Having a toddler in the house means if it cant get done in like 2 min or less then good luck! So in that respect the book was perfect. i would recommend this book to anyone with a toddler or just beginning reading. Its perfect to use as a settle down time book, or for bedtime.

Very short and cute
Honestly I was expecting it to have more words in the story but it’s a cute little book. I like it but I wanted to read more.

Happy Dragon Here!
This is a fun read/partner read book. Partner read is, you read part and your partner reads part, but you both get to look at the Silliest Dragon in the 🌎. Fun times all around. The illustrations are whimsical and vivid and just make you 😃. I highly recommend this book.
The Silliest 🐉 likes to play but sometimes gets in trouble making messes. The Silliest 🐉 is purple. What else does he do?
Happy ☺ reading 📚 !!

The silliest story.
Now I do feel mean writing this because he the dragon is cute and I do like Rathbone’s other stories, but this was pointless. Full of half rhymes, it did not have the advantage of good poetry, and it didn’t teach children anything. A children’s story does not have to be educational and I love some of the silly ones. This one, however, was not terribly clever.

A very short picture book is recommended for toddlers or preschoolers.
There is no plot. Each page contains one sentence explaining how the purple dragon loves to play. The rhymes are off in spots but the pictures are adorable. Dragon fans will immediately fall in love with the character. What two-year-old- doesn't love a silly dragon and the color purple?

Okay
Books like this are so informational for children and hold such a wealth of knowledge. I really enjoy reading books, like this one and many others to my children, for if you start them young then they will grow to have a love for reading and adventure!

Cute bedtime ebook
Such a cute story. The illustrations are great; love the bright colors. Bought this to read to my great nephew while we are on a cruise, so I was thrilled it was available as an e-book. I hope he loves it.

Cute Bedtime Story
Cute bedtime story for kids. Bright colorful pictures, and I seen no spelling errors.
This book is free on Amazon right now, and if you have any littles I recommend reading it at bedtime to them.

A cute little rhyming book. Nice illustrations. Good for reading aloud to young children or beginner readers. Lacks a story. Just simple

It's a cute book that the youngest of children will enjoy, but could be a little boring for older children.
