Puff the Magic Dragon Book & CD by Peter YarrowMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I adored this song when I was a kid but has forgotten about it until I saw it from the bookstore last night. Without second thoughts, I grabbed myself a copy, excited to go home. My 5yo daughter heard the song for the first time and she loved it! a couple more rounds, she was able to sing along with me. The illustrations and phasing of the book just made the song even better. I barely remember the story and was heartbroken for Puff when Jack didn't come back. No exaggeration but I had goosebumps when I saw the page of a girl playing with Puff, turns out Jack didn't forget his dragon after all. He brought a new playmate for Puff, his own daughter, to Honalee.
We all grow up and busied ourselves with our jobs and daily-what-nots. This is a good reminder that we can always go back to a place like Honalee and use our imagination to revive ourselves.
Highly recommended.
