      What young readers say about the Dragon Tales books

      ‘I like that the dragons go on adventures and have so much fun, and I love Ben McIlwhinnie. Emily’s my favourite dragon because she loves books like I do.’ - Catherine, Basingstoke

      ‘Thank you for the dragon books. My favourite is Quest for a Friend because I find Desmond really entertaining, and I think the baby is really cool.’ - Jessica, Guildford, Surrey

      ‘I like Tom because he is really funny. I am reading Book 4 and enjoying the dragons trying to find Ollie and flying to different places.’ - Fraser, Southall, Notts

      ‘I love how the books get more and more exciting. Also I like the way the books are worded. I like the way the dragons show their feelings because they are like people. My favourite is Des, because he takes all sorts of risks.’ - Aly, Haddington, East Lothian

      My favourite character is Tom, and I liked the bit where he did a head-stand in the water, and how he sits on Ben McIlwhinnie’s ear. - Matthew, Staveley, Derbyshire

      ‘I love the way that all of the dragons in Quest for a Cave are shades of blue. And it is funny when Emily thought the JCB digger was a yellow dragon! - Jarosan, Yateley, Hants
