A Dragon Named Egg by Heidi Howarth
5.0
When I was little, I believed in magic. Dragons, witches and fairies made up my childhood. My imagination was encouraged by my parents and the stories they would tell me. A good imagination is imperative in a child’s development and attributes to their problem solving skills as an adult!
Being a new mum myself, I’ve been so excited to begin the journey of building my little ones imagination (you can never start too early!) and I’ve been reading to him since he was born. When I saw A Dragon Named Egg available to request on @netgalley I jumped at the chance because A) it’s a chance to try something different in regards to reviewing and B) dragons.
I was a bit unsure of how to review a children’s book, so I asked my new resident expert- 10 week old Oliver. Now he may be a bit young to understand the plot of a book but he sure as heck hung on to the words and was absolutely enamoured with the beautiful illustration.
The story is of Egg, a small dragon who feels like a bit of an oddball in a family of very epic and special dragons. This reads as an “Ugly Duckling” style book, and serves to remind children that they are all special and unique in their own way.
I only had this to read on an e-reader and this is no way captures how beautiful the illustrations really are so I will be buying this in a physical copy when I can.
I highly recommend this book for the dragon loving child in your life. And keep those imaginations flowing ⭐️
Thank you to @netgalley and @west44books for the E-ARC of this wonderful book.
