Three cute stories to scare you on Halloween, October 7, 2008
This review is from: Dragon's Halloween (Dragon Tales (Random House Paperback)) (Paperback)
"Dragon's Halloween" contains three stories all about Dragon and, what else, Halloween. Some things are meant to be.
We know this is a good dragon before even opening the book. How? See on the cover? Watch the mama cat and her five young cats. They surround Dragon in friendship.
Turn the page and Story 1 begins: "Six Small Pumpkins." Dragon is going about his collection of one giant pumpkin for Halloween and is seeking it in the Free Pumpkin Patch, but voila, all the giant ones are gone! Oh my, what to do?
Dragon collects the remaining six and conceives a plan for making these little ones scary! His friends Alligator and Fox come along and pretty much laugh at Dragon for thinking he can make something scary out of things so small. They are on the ground laughing their heads off. BUT!! When Dragon lights the candles in the pumpkin, they screech with terror and flee the scene. Yikes! Even Dragon is frightened by the Pumpkin Scary Man he has created. He runs home, hides under the bed, where he stays until it is time for Story 2.
The next two stories are just as scary and humorous: "The Costume Party" and "The Deep Dark Woods." Poor Dragon.
Dav Pilkey, the author/artist, created this darling character before he created Captain Underpants, known to children far and wide. Dragon is just as beloved, except by a younger audience.

Great Read, March 6, 2000
By A Customer
That Dragon, he is the cutest dragon and this is a great story. He is so clever with the jack-o-lantern and for anyone who's walked through the dark wood at night while the wind blows can identify with this. It's a great story for kids. I have all of Dragon's books and my child and I like them all. Don't hesitate, buy this book!

Cute intro to chapter books, October 13, 1999
By A Customer
Cute story for the Halloween holiday and a nice way to introduce young children to the idea of chapter books. There are other books in the "Dragon" series, so readers can revisit the character in other settings if they enjoy him in this one.
