Review round-up:

“Hoorah! Another picture book whose rhyming text scans, this time in a celebration of friendship… Davis’ cheerful cartoony pictures, deliciously coloured, carry you into each scene” The Sunday Times

“a lively read-aloud text and illustrations brimming with humour and detail” The Bookseller

“New from the creators of The Giant of Jum is another warm-hearted fairy-tale adventure brimming with joy and excitement. The Dragons of Dread are a terrible bunch, who love to snack on ‘dribblesome, nibblesome, knobble-kneed knights’. When little Dram turns four, he’s sent out alone to bite a knight, but soon runs into trouble, crash-landing in a lake. Fortunately there’s a young human there to help. Sharp-eyed readers will immediately spot that this little boy is a knight-in-training and anticipation builds for the moment these new friends realise they’re supposed to be sworn enemies. The rhyming text is great fun and lovely to read aloud. Benji Davies’s illustrations take us swooping through the air then provide close-ups of a growing friendship. This author-illustrator team give Donaldson and Scheffler a run for their money!” Andrea Reece, LoveReading4Kids

“The boys loved this book the most out of the two. Since reading it they have made me make them some cardboard shields so in case they bump into any dragons they are ready for battle! The illustrations in both these books were beautiful, and they really brought the books alive!” http://www.hannahandtheminibeasts.co.uk/2016/06/elli-woollard-book-reviews-giant-of-jum.html

It’s a lovely picture book to read together with young children and the friendship theme is really nice and important. As always, I love a good rhyming story like this one as it’s fun to read rhyming books aloud.” http://amumreviews.co.uk/book-reviews-a-world-of-magical-books-by-elli-woollard/
