The author of this book contacted me, asking for an honest review of her book.  Since it was available for free download, I decided to see how my daughter liked it.Kid's Point of View:My daughter was most emphatically NOT in a story mood when I started to read it to her.  In fact, the resident five-year-old was deep in a computer battle playing her favorite online game, but I started to read it aloud.  By the second page, she was standing by my chair asking me to start over.  And within minutes, she was curled up in my lap, listening to the story of Katy and her dragon friend.She was absolutely delighted and at the end asked me if there was another Katy book for the Kindle.  There was and we had to download it immediately.Mom's Point of View:This is a fun, sweet tale.  There was nothing scary about it.  My daughter did get a little worried when the dragon left Katy, but just for a moment.  She found the book funny and it kept her interest.  This is also great if you have a child who is afraid of swimming lessons.  My daughter just started them again and was a little worried.  The story hit home.  The rhyme is a little forced in parts, but overall well done.  As for Kindle formatting, the text and pictures were on different pages, which bothered me a little.  I would have liked for my daughter to have been able to view the illustrations as we read the text, not after each section.All in all, a cute book that my daughter enjoyed!
