Though the book is listed as being for ages 4-8, we bought the book for my then 2-year-old son and it quickly became his favorite bedtime book. The story is adorable, as are the illustrations - and it's overriding message that it's okay to be different and that it's what's inside that counts - is very happy and positive. Even before he can actually read the words, my son has memorized the text, and actually quotes it back, complete with his own sound effects. It's a joy to read, and a book I highly recommend to all parents with toddlers!

This book was so great. It encouraged our son to pick up more unfamiliar books to read. He loves it so much that he puts on shows using action figures, puppets, and sometimes just socks. I recommend it highly

Easy readers are tough to write, and this one is satisfying on just about every level -- funny and exciting, clever, a plot that works. Our two daughters learned to read with it, and now our son is, too.

My two year old daughter enjoys this book. The pictures and story are good for her age group. While reading it to her like the 5th or 6th time I noticed on page 18 it appears the illustrator stuck a picture of lady flashing her breasts in the window. The color of the curtains are a pink flesh, without a line down the middle and two carefully placed dots. I don't think my daughter will ever catch on, but I don't scour books for little things like this. If he hid anything else like this I haven't noticed yet.

This is a very good book for a first grader who is learning to read. I would say it is a medium level reader and the story is very cute. My son loves to read this book and the morale of the story-- size doesn't matter-- is prefect for kids! Great buy!

My daughter was 4 when we bought this book to encourage her to read. It's a simple and quick story with a cute twist on the getting rid of a dragon without killing him. The princess is kidnapped but the dragon has no interest in her beyond that thus the suspense of being eaten isn't really explored, so the book is nicely tame for even the most skittish of children. The story is so simple that my daughter practically memorized it after the first reading so using it as an on-going learning tool kind of backfired. But the illustrations are great and my daughter loves the concept of tiny towns and a party after an accomplishment.

My son loved reading this book in First grade. That says a lot, since reading was not his favorite thing to do. AR level 1.7
