Book Reviews of Puff the Magic Dragon
Book Review: Great Song, Lame Book
Summary: 2 Stars
I read so many great reviews about this book that I couldn't wait to get it for my children, but when I did, we were sorely disappointed. The story is just the lyrics to the song, so there's not much depth to it. The illustrations still continue after the "song" ends, to make it seem that Puff makes a new friend after Jackie Paper leaves him, which does make it more kid friendly. It's not as sad, but that dosen't make for a good story. Plus if they were going to adhere exactly to the song, why did they change the ending? If they were going to change the ending they should have changed the content too so that one could actually read a cool book about a dragon, friendship and growing up, instead of just singing a silly song. I loved the illustrations but if I wanted to read the lyrics to "Puff the Magic Dragon" I would have just bought the CD. Book Review: Puff's a Magic Dragon!
Summary: 5 Stars
What a beautiful song and book! I really enjoyed it and my students will too. The book illustrates the lyrics and this I think was the way to create the book. It also allows Peter Yarrow to enclose a CD and sing along to the book. A very nice presentation. I bought the dragon also. It's a nice visual. Book Review: Great Book

I loved Puff The Magic Dragon as a kid. I still do. This book has great illustrations and a CD. It is just the slong lyrics along with great drawings. If that's what you are looking for, this book will do it.
