5 out of 5 stars fanastic reading   June 4, 2010
O'connor John Paul (Italy)
great story this...my only criticism being the very sophisticated vocabulary used...not for very small children. Great story, brilliantly told.


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful for the car!   May 16, 2010
Mrs. Lisa Mckenna (Glasgow, UK)
This story is delightful and appeals to both my seven year old boy, because of the complications and fantasy,and my four year old boy/girl twins because of the 'funny' dragon - this means it is idea for a short-ish car journey! But it is also one I don't mind listening to over and over - so it has graced many short-ish car journeys!


3 out of 5 stars A pleasant tale which will catch the attention of the child listener   January 4, 2010

Some stories appeal to both children and their parents, this one will certainly attract the younger set, but, while pleasant, it is not really so geared at adults. However, it is refreshing to have the option to play stories not tied into TV shows or modern 'attempts to entertain' children, a good straight forward story, and one which will provide the opportunity to discuss issues about fighting / peace / relationships with your children.

I brought this for a friends little boy who was having trouble sleeping. He wouldn't stay in bed. I brought this and said he must listen to it at bed time and tell me how the story ends. He has yet to hear the ending as it relaxes him and he falls asleep before the end. My friend thinks its marvellous.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Reluctant Dragon   September 3, 2009

3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I bought this tape along with two others ( Just So Stories & My Completely Best Story Collection) for my 5 year old grandson, to listen to on a long journey down through France, this year. The Reluctant Dragon was his favourite, inspite of the very grown up vocabulary, which did surprise but delight me - I have to say that I thought it was fabulous, and was amazed that this was the tape he requested in preference to the more 'easy listening' options. Highly recommended.
