      What young readers say about

      the Dragon Tales books

      ‘I like that the dragons go on adventures and have so much fun, and I love Ben McIlwhinnie. Emily’s my favourite dragon because she loves books like I do.’ - Catherine, Hampshire

      ‘Thank you for the dragon books. My favourite is Quest for a Friend because I find Desmond really entertaining, and I think the baby is really cool.’ - Jessica, Guildford, Surrey

      ‘I love the Bonxie bird in Quest for Adventure. He is really funny. I love his Scottish words and really laughed when he was telling the other birds to leave Des alone in Ice Land, especially when he told them not to poo on Des.’ - Kirstyn, Clackmannanshire

      ‘I like Tom because he is really funny. I am reading Book 4 and enjoying the dragons trying to find Ollie and flying to different places.’ - Fraser, Southall, Notts

      ‘I love how the books get more and more exciting. Also I like the way the books are worded. I like the way the dragons show their feelings because they are like people. My favourite is Des, because he takes all sorts of risks.’ - Aly, Haddington, East Lothian

      My favourite character is Tom, and I liked the bit where he did a head-stand in the water, and how he sits on Ben McIlwhinnie’s ear. - Matthew, Staveley, Derbyshire

      ‘I love the way that all of the dragons in Quest for a Cave are shades of blue. And it is funny when Emily thought the JCB digger was a yellow dragon! - Jarosan, Yateley, Hants

      ‘Quest for a Cave was a fun childhood read with an interesting twist. I am looking forward to the next books.’ ‘Very enjoyable! I liked the mountain giant best.’ - Kayla and Ailsa, Musselburgh, East Lothian

      ‘I really enjoyed Dragon Tales because I felt like I was there. I like drawing pictures of Tom playing on the mountain giant’s ear.’ - Skye, Edinburgh

      ‘Our favourite character is Lily, because she is a baby dragon with a lot of temper. She is the classic bossy little sister!’ - Stella and Sarah, Haydon Bridge, Northumberland

      ‘We liked the part in Book 4 where Georgie pulled Tom’s spiky tail because he wanted to play.’ - Lucy and Andrew, Edinburgh

      ‘I like dragons, so I really like all your books. My sisters Skyla and Milly loved hearing what dragons like to eat and looking at Elise’s pictures. My favourite book is The Runaway, because Ollie ends up getting found by people and now they are looking for all the dragons. It makes it exciting to keep reading.’ - Kaleb, Herekino, New Zealand
