Adana doesn't really feel like she fits in anywhere. She feels like she doesn't belong and has no real purpose. That is until the giant shows up and scares the rest of the dragons.

This book was just too adorable! I thought it was very sweet and very easy to read. It helped that I had a very soothing narrator, Fiona Thraille, reading it to me. Her voice was very proper.

I really adored the pictures! I picked up a copy to read along. I was just so impressed. They were simple without being too simple. It's hard to explain it better than that.

This is a great children's book to read to any child, including fur babies. It kind of reminded me a bit of Rudolph in a way.

This was such a cute little story. Adana is an Earth Dragon, unfortunately. Earth Dragons are boring. They can't breathe fire. They can't fly. It doesn't matter how hard they try, because Adana tried. Hard. But, what happens when the Fire and Air Dragons are defeated? Can an Earth Dragon save the day?

Fiona Thraille, the narrator of this audiobook, did a wonderful job, and her narration had me giggling - even before the obviously funny part.

Having listened to other short stories by Debbie Manber Kupfer, I thought this one would be good. I was right. While I don't normally read/listen to short stories because they are short, and I read so much that I typically stick with novels that are 400+ pages long so they will last me for a day or so. But, Kupfer's short stories are worth the change. They are like a really good cup of coffee. So, join the rest of us who have indulged in this cup of coffee!
