Book Review: The Dragon and the Turtle Go On Safari

Best friends Padraig the dragon and Roger the turtle are brave
explorers determined to spend the the whole night outside. Despite the
scary things that appear after dark they discover how brave they
really can be. Overall the book wasn't bad, the illustrations were
very nice. I did think that the book was a little long and advanced
for younger children. The characters spoke in a british accent which
is different for a childrens book. At the end the authors included a
discussion page based on key points in the book but tied it with a
religious theme. It wasn't preachy or expected but a nice balance.
Overall I don't think I would recommed this book. Book was provided
free of charge by WaterBrook Multnomah in exchange for this review.
