Nagy rajongói vagyunk a Donaldson-Scheffler páros mesekönyveinek már rég, de Zog eddig valahogy kimaradt. Nagyon jó, és viccesebb, mint a többi: a szöveg mentőhelikopter, „én is, én is”, imádom! :) és a képek is. Kell belőle saját, ez már biztos :)
This was a cute book about a dragon who wanted to do really well in school. Each time his teacher told him to go home and practice, he had a hard time with his homework. Consistently, a princess was able to help him practice. In the end he had to capture a princess and she volunteered for him. Then, a prince tried to rescue her. At this point all of the characters were calling out stereotypes and declaring what they truly wanted to be (doctors). I like this book to help kill stereotypes in the class.
This book was absolutely lovely. If it looks familiar it’s because it’s by the author of the Gruffalo and Room on a Broom. And just like those, this book has the power to be an instant classic. Dragons, princesses and knights, but in ways not really seen before. I love the story, the cadence, the rhymes, and the illustrations. A perfect read.

I especially liked that there wasn't too much emphasis placed on the 'failures' but rather on the need for lots of practice. And the ending is a happy one for everybody, including supporting characters. :)
I give it three stars, not four, just for my own personal taste. Absolutely nothing wrong with the book.

I give this book a hundred out of five. It is about a dragon at dragon school who keeps hurting himself and being rescued by a nice, kind girl who is a princess and a doctor. It is brilliant and funny.

Julia Donaldson has to be one of the finest writers for tempo in children's writing today; the rhythm in her books is simple and flawless (even if she does cheat occasionally on her rhyming couplets). Zog is another example of a beautiful book that dances along as you read it out loud, with sections of repeated verse that any child you are reading this with can latch onto and join along with show more before the end of the book. It's a lovely tale about a little dragon (the eponymous Zog) who is learning to be a big boy and on the way gets help from a little girl who turns out to be a princess. It may not quite have the universal appeal of the Gruffalo, but it's a great book nonetheless and the story is perfectly paced, easy to understand for younger children and has its own message which is well worth teaching. show less
