After Matthew's mother finishes reading to him, Matthew's dragon comes out of the book and leads Matthew [now small] on a silvery trail out his window. They are menaced by a neighbor cat but escape when the dragon becomes big. They fly to join all other dragons in a magical songfest, then they both return to Matthew's room. A fanciful book with wonderful illustrations.

this book is in our preschool and the kids love it- one boy in particular, 3.7 years old, would browse and browse this book. the perspective of the Main character, matthew, riding over the town on the dragon's back lends itself to all sorts of conversation about perspective, what we might see from various vantage points.

Ths book is excellent for both younger and older children. My daughter brought it home as a library book from school. My 2 year old son loved it so much I had to go buy it. My daughter had to take it back to school. Prior to that she had me read it evey night. The illustrations are great and the story content even kept me involved. It is a must for any child's library.

I think every child at some point dreams of a dragon. It's magical powers, it's ability for flight. "Matthew's Dragon" brings to life, that dream.

It is truly magical and wonderful, with a great hero dragon and an enemy cat.

Enjoy it, my family did.
