Very cute book. Lots of laughs for kids. A great book to welcome kids to a library, then go over library rules and expectations for behavior. Perfect for storytime! It is playful and silly with great art! I read this to the kids while breaking the books primary rule: I brought a dragon to the library!

What a memorable story - I will definitely use this in storytime, and recommend it to library and dragon lovers alike. Excellent addition to the library collection.

Such a bright and colorful book! I just loved it. The book follows a little boy that wants to bring his dragon to the library and all the reasons he shouldn't. A fun read for kids and gets even the little ones into fantasy early. I highly recommend it A great read aloud to use at the beginning of the year during Library.

One of my new favorite books about libraries! How can a library get better? Add dragons, that's how! This would make an excellent story time book. but also, I'm a grown woman with no kids, and I need to buy myself a copy of this for my own use!

Do not bring your dragon to the library! Why? Because he will cause quite a disturbance! This rhyming book takes you on a fiery journey through the library. I love books that capture not only your attention, but your heart. This book certainly does that! Combining dragons and libraries into a picture book? I give it five fiery stars!

Adorable book for young readers that will capture their attention and imagination. There are so many reasons why dragons don't belong in libraries. The possibility of igniting seems obvious, but who knew a dragon might get too crazy and begin dancing? This one is sure to put a smile on the faces of young and old alike.

This was creative, as one would expect. With a lovely rhyming scheme, it details all the reasons bringing your pet dragon to the library is a bad idea - from dancing too vigorously at a musical program to setting the books alight in excitement! I loved the whimsy, and I loved the bold illustrations and especially the variety of children and dragon pairs depicted :-)

Now as a librarian myself, I do have to comment: While I did really approve of the presentation of today's modern library (much more than just the books on the shelves!) I was still a bit disappointed by the sweater clad, muted skirt wearing librarian with stereotypical half moon glasses and bun (even if she was a person of color!)

A fun title to add to any school library collection--this one definitely grabs the attention of young readers!

Extremely cute and I would love to pick up a physical copy to read to my niece, as I did read this on my computer as a digital review book. The dragon is wonderfully illustrated and anything that helps teach kids the correct library behavior expectations is a win in my book. Plus, it was just downright adorable & fun to look at!
