Children's Book Review: SAIL AWAY DRAGON

Girl and Dragon are best friends. They are so close that they even share the very same dream of sailing away to the "Far-est Far Away." So, Dragon comes to Girl and he becomes the SAIL AWAY DRAGON and her his crew and they sail through the oceans to reach the far-est far away, traveling for a year and a day. They have many adventures and make several new friends. SAIL AWAY DRAGON wasn't quite the story I was expecting it to be. It's not a bad story, but it's not as funny or adventurous as I thought it was going to be. Instead, the book is more like the same poetic dream that Girl and Dragon share: light and breezy.
