"And they all lived happily ever after." At least, that's what Jill's storybook says, but Jill can't help noticing that at the end of the story, one character looks far from happy. Dragon is despised by the king because all he can do is singe, burn, and barbecue. So Jill decides to make her fairy tale ring true and invites Dragon out of the book, so she can teach him some alternative life skills! Dragon throws himself into all of Jill's favorite things - but with disappointing results. When it seems as if all hope is lost, Jill and Dragon discover that he has one very unique, and palatable, talent . . . No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

An engaging fantasy is paired with magical illustrations in Jill & Dragon, a meta-fictional picture-book which marks British author/illustrator Lesley Barnes' debut. Although the story is entertaining, I found the chief appeal here the gorgeous artwork, which is colorful and immensely charming. I'm not sure what medium Barnes used - block print? mixed media? - but the result is captivating! The sense of motion and of fun to be found throughout, the droll expressions Jill's dog, who is clearly not a fan of the dragon, exhibits - all add to the appeal. I understand that Barnes is working on a sequel to Jill & Dragon, which is good news indeed. Recommended to anyone looking for magical stories for younger children. ( )
