The dragon slayer sword

The Dragon Slayer was a cute and imaginative story featuring a girl and dragon trying to live out their dreams I found this to be a fun take on the knight slaying a dragon stories with the girl going out to slay a dragon instead of staying at home We also enjoyed the friendship bonding over toasted marshmallows The story was short yet engaging enough to keep my kids attention They loved the illustrations I also felt the illustrations were well done with the mixture of childlike art and gorgeous watercolors This is a book we will be adding to our shelf at home.

very fun My favorite part was when Freya shared marshmallows with the dragon instead of slaying it I was really excited when my prediction of Freya and the dragon being best friends came true I didn t like that the dragon was trying to eat a girl I recommend this book to anyone who loves dragons who aren t slayed and human girls who aren t eaten Nicki This was a funtastic read about a little girl who aspires to be a knight and a dragon who wants to eat a little girl This story was fun light hearted and great for all ages The illustrations were just enough to get the story across but not too much that they became distracting to the young reader I had a little bit of an issue with the ending as it seemed like there were a couple pages missing where it just skipped in the story Otherwise we really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to all the young dragon lovers Hardcover The Dragon Slayer Hardcover by Tatyana Feeneythis book shows the nature of imagination The drawings will be inspiring for children their simplistic nature will have many children copying its pictures the story of having a dream and finding reality will show children that expectations should not influence behavior The book is a good social emotional learning resource for elementary school showing perception reality and new avenues The book also shows how reputation should not influence out behavior Hardcover Thank you to Netgalley and Kids Can Press for an advanced reader copy of this book All views and opinions are my own Freya wants to slay a dragon A dragon wants to slay a girl Freya and dragon bond over marshmallows All is well This book is cute and sends an important message about finding alternative solutions and being willing to be the first to extend an olive branch Also Tatyana takes a unique approach to illustrating her books She uses simple crayon and colored pencil drawings which may be inspiring to young children because they look at this picture book and think I could do that Could I make my own book and story Which is a super cool concept That said I can t help but recognize that as a child I would be sad not to experience bright colorful eye popping art to go along with this story Dragons and princesses Pop that art all day long Additionally this is something of a trope in that the princess ends up befriending the thing she planned to destroyCute book It was okay But I can t personally say I would go out of my way to recommend it to moms with kids I wouldn t have been particularly tickled by this book as a kid either It is what it is and just love it for being that I d rate this a G Original review published 7 30 24 Hardcover Awesome and absolutely perfect book I honestly have nothing bad to say only compliments to give First of all the illustrations were adorable I thought it was a smart idea to use crayons and pencils for the illustrations because it makes for a relatable reading experience for kids as they use crayons and pencils almost every day On top of that the colors were soft but still very beautiful This helps make it perfect for reading anytime day or night Secondly the idea of the story was clear and it definitely came through to the reader what the author was going for And this message that the author highlighted in this story is so so empowering especially for young female identifying readers Third the plot was present and made perfect sense which will help kids stay engaged and it makes for a comprehensive story Lastly the ending was so meaningful and sweet it will both inspire and delight kids beyond finishing this book.
