I really enjoyed this book, and the artwork is beautiful. However, part of me worries a little about the beginning. The dragon wants to be helpful, but no one will let him help. The knight wants to learn on his own and runs away from the castle. The dragon tries to help but Jeffrey keeps saying no leave me alone. Baxter is dedicated. I love this sentiment and when I was a child you were taught to be kind and to offer help and that sometimes you had to offer friendship more than once. But in our modern society, where no means no this could be considered a harmful practice. So I like the book and maybe I’m reading too much into it, but there may be parents who object to it.
