Green Smoke

I stumbled across a copy of GREEN SMOKE at the used book store, and grabbed it as it had that great vintage story "look" to it. I was right. I just finished reading it aloud to my two eight year olds and my ten year old. Boy and girl alike, they loved it and were sad to see it end. They laughed outloud at much of the dragon's dialogue, and my oldest is asking when she will learn more about King Arthur. Now I see that another reviewer mentioned sequels...publishers, bring these gems back!

An eight year old girl meets a friendly dragon while on a beach vacation in England, and he tells her stories about his past as one of the companions of King Arthur.I first read this book and its sequels, The Dragon's Quest and Dragon in Danger, as a child and am now passing them on to my own children. I can't believe they are out of print - any publishers out there?!

Wonderful,lyrical story spurs the imagination and creates vivid visual images. We read it aloud as a family over a holiday weekend, to the delight of one and all! We loved the dragon's variable personality as well as the fantastic tales and adventures he shares with 8 year old Sue.
