My nephew, at the age of two years and also my ex's daughter at five. I have had the blessing of being the first person to sing this storybook to two different blonde munchkins. I think everyone is familiar with this one, I don't know that I need to go into what this is all about. I remember my tone-deaf father singing me this song, I remember the lilt of his imperfect voice, the feel of his hand running through my hair, EVERYTHING! Nothing, to this day, brings instant childhood nostalgia to my eyes quite like this story/song. Oh man, I can't believe I never wrote a review for this one! This was my absolute FAVOURITE childhood story. And everyone will love the way the art cleverly turns the song’s end, which at first seemed so sad, into a surprising and joyful moment. Artist Eric Puybaret has brought an entire magical world into being with enthralling landscapes, color, and characters. This is a publishing event sure to attract broad attention and please Puff’s many fans.In richly-hued paintings of the deepest sea blues and greens, Puff and his friend Jackie Paper frolic in the land of Honalee-traveling in a fantastic boat with billowed sails, climbing red castle stairs onto a balcony to meet with noble kings and princes, and watching pirate ships lower their flags for the roaring dragon. The exquisite package includes a cloth case with a tipped-in illustration and an embossed jacket with foil touches, as well as an exclusive CD featuring not only Puff, but several other songs performed by Yarrow, his daughter Bethany, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia. With Yarrow’s and Lipton’s blessing, Puff, Jackie Paper, and the land of Honalee finally live on the page. Yet singer/songwriter Peter Yarrow and co-composer Lenny Lipton have never allowed a picture book adaptation of this magical tale…until now. 223 Reviews Puff, the Magic Dragon is simply one of the most beloved songs of all time-a classic that’s become as much a part of the childhood experience as Mother Goose and fairy tales.Cd included Puff, the Magic Dragon by Peter Yarrow, Lenny Lipton, Éric Puybaret (illustrator) 4.18
