From Goodreads: My Little Pet Dragon is an amusing picture book featuring 28 adorable pieces of computer-generated artwork (similar to what you would see in a Pixar movie). The book is about 30 pages in all, and is best viewed in color.

I don’t usually read or review children’s book as I have no children, but I saw this picture book the other day and thought I’d try it out.  I also came across the following information about it on goodreads:

“As an added bonus, 100% of the proceeds from each sale will be donated to the family of Alyssa Mowery. Last October, Alyssa was struck by a car while crossing the street with her friend Mia Decker (deceased) and sister Rain (minor injuries). Although Alyssa has awakened from her coma and said her first word since the accident, she has a long way to go. With your contribution and support, you can make a difference in this young girl’s life.”

Now, since the book was written, Alyssa Mowery has gone on to the road to recovery, which is awesome!! So, the proceeds from the book are no longer just going to her, but now to the author, which is certainly fair.  I think it is a rare author indeed who is willing to give up all of their profit in order to help someone else, and I found it really intriguing. The last author I saw to do something like this is Joshua Grover-David Patterson (and he’s still doing it), and so I like to support these authors, because I think their heart is in the right place.   

So, anyway, even though I don’t have children, I bought this book, and I read it too, because it’s very short.  Gordon has cute pictures of the baby dragon and all the things he does for his owner, like helping him brush his teeth and the like, so I think it’s good for really young children.
