Note: I received a digital review copy of this book through NetGalley. ( )

I loved this book as did my grandson. What a wonderful way to teach your child manners while having fun with this story. As I read the book we talked about what the dragon should do on each page and he usually could tell me, but sometimes I had to help. He loved the illustrations and pointed out the different dragons, their colours and faces etc. He was completely enthralled with this story and of course when the repetitive line of "Do Not Take Your Dragon To Dinner" came around, he read it with me, or yelled it while laughing. I enjoyed the rhythmic pattern to the story as I read it aloud. The illustrations were so bold and colourful it was almost like we were watching a movie or cartoon. I can see this becoming a favourite of any child and the side effect of teaching proper manners is a bonus for parents. A great addition to any family library. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

The first thing I noticed while reading this story is that it rhymed. It goes into great detail about why dragons are terrible dinner guests at restaurants. They grab for your phone, crawl on the floor stand on the table and let out a great roar. The dragons will slurp, and he will burp, they will take giant bites, play with their food and pick at their fangs. They are very very rude!

This book is all about a pet dragon and why you should not take them to dinner. It gives a lot of reasons why you cannot take a dragon to dinner but then it gives you tips on how you can take them to dinner. ( )

A lovely rhyming picture book about what would happen if you took your dragon to dinner. Great illustrations that will have the little ones smiling from ear to ear. ( )
