    About this ebook

    We all know dragons are terrible, but this one is especially terrible. He scribbles in books. He steals candy from baby unicorns. He even burps in church. Seriously, who does that? Dragon, that's who. The king, the knights, and the villagers are desperate to take down this beast once and for all. But sometimes it's up to the unlikeliest of heroes to tame a dragon this terrible.

      Dragon is terrible, doing all sorts of annoying, rude things all around town. Then one day he's tamed by a story. This book is hilarious. The drawing style is simple but perfect, and the things Dragon gets up to are just right in their humor and gentle rudeness. Recommend.
    • 4/5
      A terrible dragon - more terrible even than regular dragons - makes himself a great nuisance in this humorous picture-book from author Kelly DiPucchio and illustrator Greg Pizzoli. His various crimes - stealing candy from baby unicorns, stomping on flowers, scribbling on books - lead the king to issue a call for brave knights to come forward to tame him. When this fails, and the dragon's depredations grow worse, the townspeople also take up the call, but all to no avail. It falls to one storytelling boy to solve the problem...With a conversational narrative full of editorial asides - the narrator often stops to comment on how terrible the dragon's actions are - and colorful artwork that captures both the humor of dragon's actions and the annoyance they cause to the other characters, Dragon Was Terrible is an entertaining book. Not surprisingly, I was charmed by the conclusion, which champions the power of stories and storytelling, as a means of education and conflict resolution. Recommended to young dragon lovers, as well as to anyone looking for children's stories in which the monstrous opponent must be tamed, rather than killed.
    • 5/5
      Honestly, this book is hilarious.

      From the sardonic tone of voice to the excellent illustrations, I lurv it.
    • 3/5
      Dragon is terrible bully, but the amusing narration keeps the story clipping along through his terrible antics and eventual, though not-quite-satisfying happy ending.
    • 4/5
      Dragon was oh so terrible until he was not. But what is it that calms a terrible dragon and makes a good friend. Why a good story of course. Lots of fun to be had in the pages of this one.
    • 4/5
      Parents loved it. Kids liked it, too!
