 Great illustrations November 20, 2008
The illustrations in this book are really beautiful. I was drawn to the watercolor paintings in this book. If you're a hard core dragon fan, there aren't too many interesting dragon facts in here. I'd say this book is worth getting for its art, not for its content (if you are an adult anyway)
Dragonology October 24, 2008
My grandson recently stated that he was "into" dragons. With that in mind this was an early Christmas purchase. Well I have to say that I am thoroughly pleased with this purchase; it almost makes me wish that I was a girl again as any child going through the pages of this book is going to experience an adventure.
dragonology October 11, 2008
this book is really nice,, it is made to look old but is actually new, if you are at all into dragon books or any of the "Harry potter" type of stuff, as my nephew (10 years old)is you wont be disapointed in this book,, he loved it, he carts it around everywhere, spending hours looking at each page, worth every penny i paid
Entertaining book for the younger reader October 6, 2008
My daughter really liked this book. I didn't read it so I can't say too much more than that.
Not just for kids.... September 18, 2008
I had to add my two cents here. I see all of these reviews from kids or people who bought the book for a kid. I am 25 and am collecting the entire series. These books are beautifully done, informational and just plain fun to read and look through. Anyone with interest in mythology, literature and history would adore this series. It is attention getting for the young, but it is also academic enough for the adults. They are not patronizing or low leveled that would steer adult readers away. The tongue-in-cheek approach of the advertising inside can relegate the book to the younger crowd, but adults-you too can LOVE this book!
