Customer Reviews

Our son has never been so enthralled over a book

We bought this book for our 8 yr. old son and it's the first book that we couldn't pry from his hands. I never thought I'd hear myself say, "Son, would you please stop reading.". The illustration in the book as well as all the elements are beautiful and it's just so full of interesting "things" including a bunch of stickers. The stickers are so beautiful that my son didn't want to use them so they wouldn't get messed up. He wanted to keep them perfectly preserved. Every page is a suprise. He loved this book so much that he begged us to buy Pirateology and we didn't hesitate.

Excellent detailed booked

My 9 year old son is absolutely entranced with this series. Especially this one. The model is his favorite part. Hanging in his room. I find him sitting quietly reading and rereading sections of these books. And that never happens!

A logical expansion of the Dragonology series

I bought this after purchasing the original Dragonology book. The model is simple enough that most children should have no problem assembling it, and the book's puckishly dry wit will bring a chuckle of empathy to any adult who has had to clumsily learn a new skill. Or raised children. My only regret is that the book ended too soon, which I suppose means it was just the right length. It left me looking forward to Volume II in the Tracking and Taming Dragons series.

A great addition to the dragonology line.

I saw this book yesterday and had to buy it for my 7 yr old dragonologist. He was very excited to see it when he got home from school. He spent a lot of time reading the book and playing with the model last night. He certainly gives it 2 thumbs up.

All becomes clear

It seems that someone has mistakenly entered the blurb related to the original Dragonology book, which obviously does have the tactile samples, dragon dust, etc. This is a completely new book, with a superb dragon model(mobile)that you can construct. Rumor has it, too, that this is the first in a series of different dragon models that they're going to release. How cool is that! Reginald Honeyharvester - SADS : )
