Dragon Makes New Friends is formatted correctly to be enjoyed to it's full potential on the Kindle Fire HD. Each page takes up the entire screen when your Kindle Fire is in landscape mode. The text, which if you press on with your finger enlarges if you need it to, is part of the illustrations so it all appears on the same page. Although this should be the standard for a picture book being allowed to be offered for sale, here on , this more than often is not the case. Unfortunately most picture Kindle books aren't formatted properly, so I always like to give accolades to the authors who care enough about their work to bother to take the time to ensure their readers' reading experience is what it should be.Dragon Makes New Friends is a good tool to for librarians, teachers, relatives or whoever to teach children (possibly who are influenced by having to live in racist or other bigot filled households), that people (although the different one, is represented by a dragon in this book), who are different in appearance can be friends, have a great time and help each other with their problems, thereby enhancing each other lives. The basic plot of this book revolves around a young dragon who is afraid to approach a group of kids in the forest and ask to play with them, due to being rejected by them fearing his appearance. But one day a lone child is having difficulty so he steps in and helps. The two become friends, but a bigoted blonde girl immediately tells the boy off for being friends with the dragon and that she can provide any of the friendship benefits the dragon is giving to the boy. Of course her bigotry will backfire on her.The illustrations are fairly good, although not at the same heights of some of Michael Yu's other books.
Michael Yu's "Dragon Makes New Friends" is a beautifully illustrated, wonderfully written story about accepting those who may be different and about the value of friendships. It shows that each individual has an ability that may be used to help others - and that in receiving help from someone may lead to an unexpected, richly rewarding relationship. It demonstrates to children that once someone accepts another individual, others may be willing to do so.The pastel illustrations are reminiscent of the work of Gyo Fujikawa. They are done in soft colors and the actual pictures have an ethereal quality. My grandson was fascinated with the artwork as well as with the story.If you are seeking a lovely children's book that conveys a message without being preachy, then you should consider "Dragon Makes New Friends".
My 5 year old loves this book. She was very happy to set still while it was being read to her. Which is really nice because it's hard to get any 5 year old to set still. I will definitely be looking for more books from this author. This book actually teaches a great lesson.
My kids really liked this book. I thought it had a few good lessons in it.First, the dragon had to overcome his fears of being rejected by the children. We all have things in life that we need to overcome, and it's easier to do when you have support from others.Second, one of the children was mean to the dragon and didn't want to be friends because he was different. She learned that it is okay to be different than someone else and you can still be friends.Third, Drake the dragon was still nice and helped Sue, even when she was mean to him. He treated her with kindness even though she had not treated him nicely.My kids like to read this almost every day.
The art in this book is gorgeous! The artist should have been given credit in the book description.The story is simple, but the message is good. Basically, the message is to not judge someone on their looks. I like how the dragon helped the girl even though she did not want him to be her friend at first. This teaches forgiveness and kindness as well.The art in the book is stunning!
