“I love the story. I love the images. I love the humor. I love the language. I love it as a parent, a teacher, and a writer. I could read it over and over and over because the humor and the language and the story and the pictures are just that engaging…” ―Christie Write Wild
“The illustrations are colorful and the creation of the dragon librarian and her antics will entice children to find the Library Dragon in their own school library.” ―It’s About Time MaMaw
“There’s plenty of wordplay to keep both parent and child entertained. Miss Scales ‘smoulders’ and is so tired after all her anger that she is simply ‘draggin’ near the end of the story. These examples, and many others, give readers opportunities to place emphasis on the words as they’re being read and stop to give context or discuss the rich vocabulary. It’s a terrific way to teach children about words, homophones and puns…” ―Kid Book Doctor
“Somehow, I had missed out on reading this book! We picked up the book with the audio cd at the public library and it’s now my new favorite book about Librarians. I will definitely be using it and recommending it for elementary librarians. Classic! The audio is a must because the author, Carmen Agra Deedy, gives the dragon a “I just smoked a carton of cigarettes” voice and it is hilarious!” ―Mrs. Library Fanatic
“This book has to rank right up there as one of my ‘most delighting’ kids’ books to listen to one of my tribe read. Just look at the grin on my boy’s face!!! I’d listen to his giggles as he’d sound out one of the harder, very tongue in cheek phrases and caught their silly meaning.” ―Our Wrighting Pad
“Clever wordplay, rich vocabulary and brightly colored illustrations make The Library Dragon a sharp, humorous commentary on children’s department librarians-be they dragons or dragonmasters!” ―A Page in a Book
“This is probably my favorite picture book of all. I first read it to my children when I checked it out from the library a few years ago. We’ve gotten it several times since. We all love it!” ―Write Wild
“The wordplay in this book is tops, and the illustrations are as funny as the words – pay close attention so you don’t miss a joke. The moral is nice, too…” ―The State Journal Register
