Review:
“Pegasus – A Dragon’s Tale” is a very cute fairy tale. It is a children’s book and fully illustrated by Stephanie Zuppo. I found the story to be original and one that children would love to hear as a bedtime story. The fact that the land in the book is made up by a kingdom of bears is sure to reign children in, and I found the element of them finding a dragon egg and raising the dragon to be adorable. It broke my heart when they had to let the dragon free, and I found myself rooting for the bears when the dragon comes back and they want to keep him. I am a sucker for fairy tales and this fairy tale did not disappoint. The writing was wonderful and simple, which is perfect for children’s stories. I just felt that the illustrations could have been better if they didn’t look so computer generated, but that is just a minor critique. I would happily buy this book for my children.
