librarianryan 's review for:

The King and the Dragon by Helena Pérez García, James W. Shrimpton
2.0
medium-paced

 
I love the cover of this book but that is all. I went into this book completely blind not realizing you need just the basics of Christian knowledge to the creation story. God inventing earth, then the people taking advantage of it by eating from the tree, and then his son is born to save everybody.  His son’s killed by the dragon put in a cave to be resurrected.  You know the story. Mostly I consider this a shame because I love the artwork. I was annoyed not knowing this was religious in nature. It just seems sneaky because at no point in time do, they acknowledge anything religious until the last page where there is more information about the Bible.
