Dragon Stew Paperback – August 1, 2011

This is one of my favorites (for years now). I can more easily handle reading books over and over if they have a nice rhyming rhythm to them. This one takes a read or two to get the rhythm, but it's there! I've since bought Troll, 2, 3, 4 by Steve Smallman as well. (By the way, my daughter likes them as well. ;) )

We just happened on this book by accident, but it has quickly become my four year old grandson's favorite book. He now requests it every time we read together.And I have to say I'm always glad he chooses it. The story is great fun to read aloud and the illustrations are perfectly wacky. We end up laughing over and over at the same jokes, but that's the beauty of the book. A great find!

How many times have you as a parent heard, "I'm bored" from your kid? Here is what they COULD be up to if they were daring Vikings...hunting dragons! When these Norsemen/women get bored with the other crazy stuff they typically do, they decide to go hunt down a dragon. The illustrations and side comments by the characters are very funny. Good book for boys or girls.

Very cute book, my 3 year olds LOVE it. But, the rhyming scheme is a bit off. It took a couple of reads to get the swing of it . . .

The three year old grandchildren twins love it and have me making dragon and Viking costumes for Halloween.

We LOVE this book! It is a repeat read in our house!

These were amazing gifts for my grandbabies this last Christmas and for my nieces who have moved away. They ask really enjoyed having a book with their hometown in named in it.

Have givin some of these books in the past. Families Loved them. Giving more out this year. Fun to read books.

This is a lovely book! My 6 year old is somewhat obsessed with dragons and vikings thanks to the How to Train your Dragon films & books. She really enjoyed reading this by herself after I’d read it to her the first time. (She particularly liked the dragon poo bit of course!)It would probably suit a younger child much better, as it’s short with lots of pictures, but also great for dragon-loving six yr olds.

Tolle Geschichte

Good illustrations and decent writing but the story isn't great.

Si tratta di un libro a fumetti con grandi disegni colorati di circa 30 pagine.Ottima storia per far imparere l'inglese ai più giovani.Il rapporto qualità prezzo è perfetto.Vikings rule!

En casa estabamos horrorizados por la baja calidad de los cuentos infantiles de nuevo cuño, la mayor parte son ñoños o no tienen ninguna gracia, y muchas veces ni lo uno ni lo otro. Por eso, nos alegramos mucho al descubrir a Steve Smallman con su estilo fresco y divertido, que narra historias que tanto niños como mayores quieren leer y releer.Tras comprar "La ovejita que vino a cenar", historia tierna y encantadora que hemos leido a nuestro hijo cientos de veces, descubrimos este "Estofado de Dragon", el cuento mas divertido que hemos encontrado hasta el momento y que rapidamente ocupó el primer lugar entre los preferidos de nuestro pequeño.La única pega es que todavía no se ha traducido al español, por lo que hay que ingeniarselas para traducirlo conservando las rimas.
