Puff, the Magic Dragon

I'm giving this 5 stars because the board book is well produced, graphics were great and there's nothing really to critique if it's a story you wanted to read to the child(ren) in your life. I, however, don't have any children and found myself with a 'deer-in-head's light' scramble after my first nephew was born. Despite the 9 months of celebration and planning, the day he was born I realized I forgot to buy books to him - Amazon to the rescue! :) I purchased a lot of books, my family strongly believes in reading to children several times a day, and encouraging their love of books, but I wish I hadn't purchased this. When rushing about to purchase books, I thought back on books that I had enjoyable memories and this was one of them. Yet as I held my nephew on my lap and read it to him, I realized quite quickly (it's a very short story) how sad the story actually was! Also, for those of us that remember the song of this tale it does seem to lose something in the reading of the book vs. the story. To wrap up, this is a well produced & beautiful copy of the story if it's one that you want to share with your children. Just take a second to remember the full story and make sure it's something you actually want to read them. Happy Reading!! :)

This book is lovely. It's great quality. We have been doing a dragon theme with my baby and I love introducing things we grew up with to him. I can see this lasting for many years.

If you want to indoctrinate your child into a treasured song from your own childhood, you can't go wrong with this combination storybook and CD! My 3-year-old is into dragons, so I ordered this book and we read it at least once a week. My son gets really sad when "Jackie Paper came no more." The book illustrations fix that situation, model friendship and hope in the process, and really help him enjoy the story. The song is now one of his top two favorites. We played it nearly non-stop for 3 weeks in the car and sing it at bedtime often. He likes phrases like "that rascal Puff" and "noble kings and princes." For my part, I enjoy knowing that Peter Yarrow's daughter accompanies him on the songs. She has a wonderful voice. His is showing his age, but that is part of the charm and it is a venerable voice.

This book was exactly how I hoped it would be.A classic yet simple story with beautiful illustrations.

I purchased this book for a baby shower, I have always loved puff the magic dragon. The book is very adorable. The pages are thick for adult reading to their children. The covers on the page is very vibrant. I Was able to read it before I gave it to it as a gift.

I thought this was going to be a book adaption of the cartoon from the 90's, but it's not, it's just the song lyrics, which doesn't sound right just reading out loud and not singing. I don't know if it's fair to knock the book for that though, but just wanted to let future buyers know. The illustrations are nice.

My favorite book of all time. Arrived in perfect condition

Part of a 12 days of Christmas gift for my grandsons. Great book.
