What is the relationship between fairies and dragons? A very long time ago, a baby dragon named Hunter got lost when flying and ended up in the land of fairies, where he was found by his father, the King of Dragons. Being appreciative of the fairies who took care of the baby dragon, the father promised he would protect the fairies from dragons who weren’t nice. Hunter made the mistake of telling his friends about the fairies to his friends, and he was overheard by other dragons. He told his father the truth about his mistake and was forgiven. Another day, his fairy friend Sylvie came to visit and told Hunter that the mean dragons had come, and they were afraid they would destroy the fairies’ land. In the end, Hunter, his father, and his friends protect the fairies and teach the mean dragons important lessons.
Benson has crafted a cute story with nice artwork that teaches children a number of important lessons about getting along with others. To begin with, it shows the value of telling the truth and being forgiven. It then illustrates compassion and standing up to bullies. It also teaches about the value of friendships with others who are like us as well as with those who are different from us. This is a creative book that will engage a child’s imagination. It is also a fun read, for what child won’t be interested in fairies and dragons? Because of the depth of the writing, it will be more valuable for older children, and the book is recommended for this reading level.
