As the mother of a young daughter, I am always aware of how hard I must work to ensure that she sees herself as a person and not an object. I absolutely love how this book turns convention upside down and how Jane is true to herself even when everyone else--her parents included--is trying to tell her to conform. This book served as an excellent introduction to a brief discussion with my daughter as to how she can be anything she wants to be, no matter what others tell her.

Jane is a wonderful role model for young girls and boys alike. Her spirit makes her soar well past what is "expected of her" and allows her to achieve her dreams. She helps others achieve their dreams as well. The book is well written. The illustrations are beautiful. This was my favourite bedtime book to read to my daughter. When she put away her children's books many years ago, this one stayed on her shelf. I recommend this book wholeheartedly.

This is such a special and unique book. It has a great message, especially for girls. It challenges stereotypes and convention in such a sweet way. Enjoy!

This is a great story for girls (and boys) because it tells the story of a girl who follows her dream regardless of what the people around her say. Jane perservered even though she was told "girls can't be knights". The story is told lightly and the drawings are sweet.

If you have seen the wonderful Jane and the Dragon tv series you will enjoy the book. You hear the basic story in the theme song and wonder how Jane and her dragon met and what made the king let her train to be a knight. This book tells that story! It is an enjoyable story that engages everyone from children to adults. I highly recommend this book.

This is a fabulous book that teaches children and adults alike to not let stereotypes limit what they do or who they become. Love, love, love it!

I may love these books more than my 4 year old daughter, but this one went over extremely well on her birthday this year.

I'm a 25 year old adult with two small boys. I personally love the Jane and the Dragon books and cartoon. It's refreshing to see a friendly dragon with a distinct personality, rather than one who is just a nasty monster. Jane knows what she wants out of life and works hard to achieve it. The illustrations are unique and lovely. It's a very cute story that anyone (young, old, boy, girl) will love... I know I do. ^_^

if you've seen the cartoon and want to know more..
but .. hey remember it is a kids book! :)

This book will encourage young girls to think of themselves as capable of becoming & doing anything their hearts' desire. Each Jane the Dragon book has a moral lesson, and the lesson in this book is "be true to yourself" and "each person has unique & special qualities."
