Terrific Vegetarian Tale
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-10-17
Herb the Vegetarian Dragon by Jules Bass and Debbie Harter A perfect book for any youngster and one of the scarce delightful resources for vegetarian families to enjoy reading to their children. The story is the carnivorous dragons are a menace to a town where the people fear the dragons will get their princess. The lonely and friendly vegetarian dragon, Herb, saves the day by convincing the meat-eaters not to raid the town anymore menacing the people but to plant a garden instead. The illustrations are adorable. You'll enjoy this one with its far-reaching implications for the future of our planet earth.

A wonderful story about accepting and tolerating others that are different. Although my family is not vegetarian, we have many friends who are. This book tells the delightful story of a vegetarian dragon in a carniverous world. Bright, colorful illustrations will have children's eyes glued to the pages and the lively story has a perfect, feel good ending. If you are vegetarian, or just want your kids to be more accepting of other people's life choices, this is the perfect book.

Cute idea but not well executed

Cute idea for a story, but unfortunately not very well executed. The illustrations are nice, but the text is extremely long for a picture book. I also wasn't a huge fan of how blatantly moralistic some of the text was, and *I'm* a vegetarian! Example: "I don't ask you to stop eating meat, so why do you ask me to stop eating vegetables?"

I recently purchased this book for 3 and 6 year old boys. They both are thoroughly entranced by the story. The vocabulary is great and the message of tolerance is one that we can build upon in discussions about the book.
Highly Recommended!
