BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Two adjacent medieval kingdoms had different sets of resources. In order to equalize the needed resources, children would steal from the other kingdom in the night, so their kings each obtained a dragon to destroy the other kingdom. The dragons, however, fought with each other only enough to show the inhabitants of each kingdom that violence is futile and counterproductive. In the end, the villagers dismissed their feuding kings and decided to live in peace and share their resources. From then on, all of them celebrated Dragons Day each year with dancing and feasting.
The illustrations were stunning. They were colorful, attractive, and engaging. The story conveyed an important message about sharing resources, and that violence is not a solution to our problems.
