Review
Full page pictures of dragons swooping and breathing fire leap out of the book from every angle. (Blackbird Pie )

Beautifully crafted and illustrated with a valiant theme for the boys and a soft endearing aspect for the girls I'd happily recommend this book for keeps. (www.writeaway.org.uk )

Dramatic illustrations and timeless prose style give the feeling of reading an ancient legend, while a humorous twist at the end reminds us this is a modern tale. (www.booktrustchildrensbooks.org.uk )

Customer Reviews

Our favourite book at bedtime!
The Dragon Snatcher is an enchanting tale of a boy and his dragon - full of excitemetn and wonderful drawings - it has been my son's favourite book since we got it for 18 months ago! The others by MP Robertson are very good, but this is the best!

Art and Literature
This is a lovely book beautifully written and beautifully drawn. The context is quite dark but the ending is bright and happy. My little boy loved this book
