Review
By Lynda Dickson
At the beginning of
this story, Landon is frightened by the dragon and is then bullied by his peers.
With the encouragement of a new friend, Landon summons up the courage to face
his fears.
This book is well
written, with a feel-good story, and a sound moral. The story is further enhanced
by the cute and colorful illustrations by Karen Dishaw.
Definitely one to
share with your children, especially young boys.
From the Author
My name is Joy Fridman. My first book was a book about monsters; it was
called Monster's Island. I wrote it
when I was 6 years old, and made it with a hard cover handmade. I still have
the book. Since then I have written poems and stories my whole life, including short
stories and one novel.
Other than online blogs, my first story ever published is my children's
book: Landon and
the Dragon. Over the years I've worked with children as a kindergarten
teacher, and had the chance to take care of two special children for a few
years. This book started as a poem to a certain child, and over the years
turned into a book.
