This is a nice beginner book to learn the Alphabet. The beginning starts with sight words and each letter is in capital and small letters with an example of something starting with the letter. Dragon as usual is cute and children will love him. This is my 3rd book in this series and I find them all important in child development. Great for beginning readers or children learning the alphabet.

Our young friend and his dragon are looking through an alphabet book? As much as I usually like the repetitive nature and simplicity of the Dear Dragon books, this one did not suit us very well. I read this to my grandchildren and when we were finished, they were both ready to move on to something else. The illustrations were simple and the book just went through the alphabet A is for, B is for etc. We have many alphabet books already and this one doesn't make the cut.

This is a cute addition to the alphabet books available for beginning readers. It's a cute idea that the boy is learning along with his dragon. Some standout features:
~nice illustrations
~ Common sight words included
~I love the activities at the end to reinforce the letter learning.

This would be a great addition to the preschool classroom. It's a simple, hands-on text for little learners.

I think this would be a valuable asset for preschoolers. My two year old would love just reviewing the letters, while older kids would do well with the included activities.

A to Z with Dear Dragon is part of a series for very beginning readers. In this brightly illustrated book, readers will find a word for every letter of the alphabet. There is a glossary with pictures to help children to know the word, even if they cannot yet read it. In addition, at the end of the book, there are suggestions for activities and further learning.

This book could be a good teaching tool. I don't think, however, that there is anything especially engaging in it. Still, if you are looking for an alphabet book, this is one possibility.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book in exchange for an honest review.

We didn’t enjoy this book as much as ‘Camping Dear Dragon’, but it wasn’t a bad book. Pretty simple and straight to the point. Good for younger readers that need a simple hands on approach to the alphabet and seeing the letters and different words that they can associate with them!

A to Z with a dead Dragon is a children’s book teaching the alphabet. Simple clean images and words to learn the alphabet with a list of words at the beginning and a small quiz at the end.

Definitely a great teaching tool for children.

A lovely book which teaches kids their alphabet in a fun and colorful way. So let them learn along with dragon and his friend as they learn the alphabet and new words in this vibrantly colorful and educative book.

Simplistic book--young children will be able to identify letters while connecting with the words.
Perhaps a bit more can be added to differentiate it from others trying to accomplish the same outcome.
