Overview / 简介: |
You could hardly blame Dexter, ordinarily a well-behaved young dragon, for showing off when he suddenly found that he could make clouds of smoke. The temptation is irresistible, but Dexter quickly becomes insufferable. First he watches his own reflection in the river in order to admire the smoke. Then he puffs it in the faces of his friends: the zebra, the giraffe, and the elephant. He even blows smoke rings around his own tail to prove how clever he is.
Soon Dexter has no friends left. He is a very lonely dragon indeed, until quite by accident he discovers a way his talent can be used to win back his playmates.
This wonderful story -- first published in 1953 -- will delight both young readers and their parents, and so will Lisa McCue's appealing new pictures of this lovable show-off.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2-- This new edition of the much-loved story of Dexter, a young dragon who loses all his friends when he shows off blowing smoke rings, retains its charm despite the pointed moral. McCue's new full-color illustrations capture the whimsical mood of the fable. The animals, although too coy, have appealing humanlike expressions which convey their envy and contempt. Dexter is a small creature with whom youngsters will readily identify. The resolution, in which he wins back his friends by sharing with them his new found ability to pop corn straight from the husks, will thoroughly delight a new generation of children. --Sally R. Dow, Ossining Public Library, NY

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| This book is about a little Dragon named Dexter and the day he realizes he can make clouds of smoke come out of his nose. When he sees his friend's, Dexter begins showing off. But soon Dexter becomes unbearable. First he watches his own reflection in the river in order to admire the smoke. Then he puffs it in the faces of his friends. His friends decide that they don't want to play with him anymore. Dexter becomes very sad and runs into the cornfield. He falls asleep there and when he wakes up, he is surrounded by popcorn... I liked this book for two reasons: the pictures and the moral behind the story. The author does a very good job of getting across the fact that nobody likes a show off. The illustrations in this book are very colorful and go along with the story very well. I think it is a great story to use to teach children a good lesson about friends. |
