Hilarious book about a dragon that befriends . . . an apple.

I liked this book because of it's original storyline. It talks about friendship and caring for each other. it also teaches that something beautiful can come from something bad. However, the premise that Dragon has never seen an apple when the other animals clearly know what it is, is kind of

outrageous. It gave the book the feeling that the author was trying really hard to think outside the box.

This is a Story Book , The story and pictures are interdependent.

This is a fantasy book. it could also qualify as a a folktale or fable since the dragon engages in various everyday task and the book teaches a lesson about caring.

The book is a beginner reading book, 1st or 2nd grade.

I really like the Dragon Tales stories, even if some find them problematic. This is the first book in the series. It has three stores, all of which have short chapters. This book is truly a beginning chapter book. It is easier to read than Magic Tree House, but longer than most easy readers.
