Ratings and reviews

When I was a child I used to read this book over and over. I loved it, even though there isn't much to it; it is an adorable little story and I hope my kids will enjoy it just as much as I did once upon a time.

In third grade we read this book my teacher dead now I am fourth grade what does appointment was rewarded though of the final band with the word and I can finally take up near and of course you know that was sarcasm I needed one more dragon soul to unlock the final part of the shout there was no it was awesome. I'm in fourth grade now it still haunts me to know that my teacher retired I want to memorize her though

I've loved the writings of Usula K L since childhood but had never read this particular book. I would've loved to have shared this with my children and grandchildren when they were younger. Perhaps I will even now. We are all book lovers.
