    Bill Peet's books are a treasure
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2023*

A wonderful, wholesome tale with delightful illustrations that will enthrall young minds. Bill Peet was a Disney animator, and all of his works are a literary gift to generations of children. His works are far superior to the garbage that passes for children's literature these days. It is essential that these works be promoted and kept alive for future generations. I enjoyed reading them to my son as much as he enjoyed hearing them. He practically had them memorized, and would stop us if we tried to skip a page.Whenever a coworker has a baby shower, I always include two of Peet's books as gifts, just to make sure they know about these treasures.

I love Bill Peet's books!  I grew up with them.  Now I give at least one of his books to my friends that are expecting a baby.

    How Droofus the Dragon Lost his Head by Bill Peet.
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 24, 2015*

This book is quintessential Bill Peet!  It is the story of a dragon who gets lost and after helping an unfortunate grasshopper, decides to be kind and not eat it.  This turns the lifestyle of predation to kindness to others.  After sheltering a lost sheep, a boy finds the dragon but is quiet about the knowledge of where he is since the King wants his head.  Droofus decides to fly in a storm and crashes on the property of the boy's family and they help him based on the son's recommendation.  When Droofus heals enough, he begins to help the family clear the land and do chores until an ornery old man sees him and tells the King.  The king comes and offers money for the dragon, but the family values him so much they refuse to sell him.  Their compromise is fun!  Everyone wins.In violence ridden child literature, this at least has a moral of kindness and gratitude.  I had bought this book for my own children when they were little.  It was time to pass it on to friends with children who are young.
