Editorial Review: Product Description: Dragons are popular as never beforeĀand here they pop up in fire-breathing action! Five dramatic dragon stories from around the world, including Beowulf and the Firedrake, St. George and the Dragon, and those from ancient China and Japan come to life, literally flying from the pages. Dynamic paper-engineering has these magnificent dragons snapping their jaws, casting fire, and flapping their massive wings. A book sure to be a hit with dragon-lovers of all ages. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Fantastic Pop-UpThis is yet another fantastic pop-up book. I collect pop-up books and I certainly was not disappointed with this one, DRAGONS: A Pop-Up Book of Fantastic Adventures. Rating:  - Excellent Pop-Up Dragon book for young childrenThis book has beautiful illustrations (lovely color and details) with simple, but impressive, pop-up art. As another reviewer noted, complex pop-up stuff is easily destroyed by kids. My four year old likes to feel the fangs and make the dragons 'fly' by opening and closing the book. It has remained durable over the past several months, unlike other pop-ups. This is one of his all time favorite books. Although the retellings are rather dry, I like the fact that it includes dragon stories ... Read More Rating: - Dragons: A pop up bookThis is a beautiful book. It is the second one I've purchased for a gift. I think if you are a person interested in dragon lore, then this is a great book to buy. The quality of the "pop ups" is amazing. The text interesting and informative. Rating:  - Weak story-telling and just OK pop-upsI bought this for my 4-year-old son because he loves pop-up books and is very interested in dragons. This book was a disappointment, though. There are only five pop-ups really, to go with five dragon stories, each told in a two-page spread. The stories, drawn from common legends around the world, are retold in a summary form that takes all the magic and drama out of them. The popups are also disappointing. Only one is reasonably sophisticated and well-done; the rest are rather simplistic. Most of the other ... Read More Rating:  - Ho Hum from a pop-up collector...The illustrations are quite lovely, and the little stories explaining each dragon are nicely written. I give it only three stars because there are so few pages, and the construction of the pop-up features are very unremarkable.
