My 5 yr. old son and I just loved this book. The art work is so beautiful and the story is wonderful. My son was afraid of thunder until we read this now he believes it's only the dragons leaving. I intend on purchasing this book for every family I know with small children!

The illustrations are so beautiful you just want to dive into the book. And the wonderful rhyming text almost makes you want to sing the story rather than read it. One of my favorite books ever.

I wore out the paper-covered version of Where Did All the Dragons Go? reading it to my 5-year-old. When he turned 6, I ordered it, again, in hard back. The book has a very pleasant rhythm and a wonderfully whimsical story. Great illustrations! P.S. We're going to give this book to all my 6-year old's fellow kindergarteners as a graduation gift and the hardback to his teacher.

As a speech-language pathologist who reads to children as part of inclusion-type therapy, I can only say that I have never received as enthusiastic a response from my students as I did while reading this book. Never mind that the rhymes are forced--the young ones don't care and it's great for developing their sense of rhyming. The illustrations are breathtaking and regularly draw cheers and "ooohs!" and "ahhhs!" from my listeners. Girls as well as boys are fascinated. When they learned that they could check it out at our school library, they made a beeline for the stacks.

I like reading about dragons. This book had great pictures. I liked the way it ended happily.

This wonderful fantasy book has haunted me since I read it over and over to my young boys years ago. the tatty library copy was worn out by the time they outgrew it and by then I knew it by heart! this story stopped my young children being frightened of thunder and lightening storms, enabling them to be seen in another light. Now I have my owncopy and my grandbubs will love it too I'm certain.

Back in second grade I found this book on the shelf of my school library. I was entranced by the beautiful pictures and checked it out over and over again. I seem to recall even writing my own "book" about where I thought the dragons went after reading it a couple dozen times. Finally, years later, remembering it, I bought myself a copy. I must say that I am 17 and still in love with this book. The story is nice and the pictures are simply stunning. I recommend it for any parent looking for a book to buy their kid or simply anyone who likes dragons, though I suggest getting the hardback copy because my paperback is starting to fall apart from use.

Now THIS is a dragon book. Read it out loud with children on your lap and watch their eyes grow round with each new page. The illustrations are quite simply amazing and carry the text through a couple of minor glitches. (Once or twice the poetry is strained.) The concept of the book--that dragons may still be "out there" somewhere--will have even small readers wondering. This book has a real impact on its audience.
