The boy viewed going to see the magic dragon as a great honor. What he didn’t realize was that the dragon had become mean and sour in his old age. By seeking out the dragon, the boy was placing himself in grave danger.

If curiosity once killed a cat, would the curious boy suffer the same fate?

Donyell Floyd has written a delightful, fast-paced story. The Curious Child is assured to keep your child entertained. I felt this book would appeal more to a youngster if there were more color illustrations and fewer words on each page. This would allow the reader to get a mental picture of all that occurs in this wonderful story. Overall, there is a great lesson to learn from this book, and I feel that this book is one that will be reread to your young curious child.
