Dealing With Dragons Book Review



This book, called Dealing With Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede, is about an improper princess who is being forced to marry a very dim-witted prince. She meets a talking frog who tells her to go to a hovel down a dirt road and she will find people who will help her with her problem. It turns out that inside the hovel is a lair of dragons that live inside the mountain that the hovel is set upon. When the princess gets there, one dragon wants to eat her, but the others think she should become somebody's princess. A dragon named Kazul offers to take her for her princess. Cimorene meets new friends, three princesses who are also dragon's princesses. She deals with wizards, witches, and magical birds. A dragon named Warog, who wants to be king, makes a plot with some wizards who want the king's crystal, which is like a crystal ball, but instead is more like a crystal plate. Cimorene and her new friends all find happily ever afters. You can read this book to find out how.

Out of ten stars, I will give this book ten stars!

This book is about adventure, romance, magic, and mystery. If you love any of those four things, you'll love Dealing With Dragons!

  5. You're welcome. (smiling)-and Yep, I have, and I'm getting ready to review a book today as a matter of fact! A book about sensory problems that children have and what adults can do to help. It's written by a therapist and the mom of a child with a sensory disorder. I'll send out a link when I'm done....from one literary critic to another:)
