"The vibrantly colored illustrations overflow the pages, use aerial perspectives, and accentuate the size of the dragons. It's a clever approach to proper library do's and don'ts. Kudos for including a kid in a wheelchair in the thoughtfully diverse cast. . . .The dragons are as colorful as the characters are multiracial, appearing in shades of vivid purple, blue, green, and orange polka dots. . . .This cautionary tale set in a library with dragon patrons is worth circulating." - Kirkus

The scene at the library is happening, even with the disruptive behemoths, and boys and girls will be inspired to check out books and story times..." - Foreword Reviews
