My Little Pet Dragon is a unique children's read full of fantastical fun!

I really liked the cover page with the CD art of the dragon on a skateboard. To me, that really stood out compared to other children's books I've seen around recently. The entire book is continues to pack each page full of the awesome 3D art that's on the cover.

Each page has just a few words on it and a 3D picture that matches the plot that's carrying on.

I'd say the general age group for this book would be between 2 to 9 years old. The story is rather simplistic, but is extremely cute.

At the end of my copy, which was an eBook I found via BookBub, it has a story about how Scott got into writing. While I thought it was a touching story to include, I felt that it didn't need to be in a children's novel that a child might read themselves on a parent's tablet or phone. As an adult I loved reading it, but it felt out of place (in my humble opinion). It is a motivational and inspirational set of words though!

The version I was reading also included lots of sneak peaks at his other books! While it does a great job advertising these books, it didn't feel right sitting in a book that a child could be reading. You're introducing them to a couple chapters and then they can't necessarily finish it. As someone who has studied marketing, I understand the need to market and advertise your books, but it just didn't mesh well with the way this book was set up. Maybe put sneak peaks as links at the end or on your website? Not in the book that ends up taking WAY more pages than the story itself.

The final bit (I promise!)... It asks to support the author on Patreon. Again, I totally understand the need to support artists and writers, but it felt out of place.

Overall, this book was really cute and I'd love to read more by Scott Gordon! I think he has lots of potential and he appears to have quite the catelogue!!

Four out of five stars! ( )

A delightful little book with great drawings. Kids will enjoy the funny pictures of this little dragon. ( )

Gordon's first children's book is pretty simple and doesn't have as many varied delightful illustrations as the volumes that follow. But when you read about why he wrote it, you'll be touched. This would be wonderful for very young readers. If only all would-be Kindle children's authors were as talented and funny as Gordon. ( )

A child receives a pet dragon for Christmas in this picture book written for the author’s son, who has autism.

The book had outstanding graphics with short sentences on each page, telling a charming story . A good book for those just learning to read. It is a cute picture book and I think the fact that author, Scott Gordon, is planning to make the dragon, Ness, into a series of books.

My only 2 nitpicks is : One, I that I wanted more description and more story with the graphics being so cool. Two, there is a similar picture book called Me And My Dragon by David Biedrzycik that I love as well, but My Little Pet Dragon ends differently.

Here’s hoping there are more books with Ness and his friends. I love dragons and I think this would be a great introduction to fantasy for kids. ( )

A modern tale for the young crowd. Easy to read with cute illustrations. ( )
