We read this at least fifty times before it went back to the library。 There's a good message to the story without sacrificing any other important story elements， and the humor， illustrations， and story all worked together perfectly for us。 We read this at least fifty times before it went back to the library。 There's a good message to the story without sacrificing any other important story elements， and the humor， illustrations， and story all worked together perfectly for us。 。。。more

I love every book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler。 This isn't an exception。 When I see Scheffler's unmistakable art style， I get excited。 I love every book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler。 This isn't an exception。 When I see Scheffler's unmistakable art style， I get excited。 。。。more

Abgesehen von der bewährten Donaldson/Scheffler-Dynamik hat mich an diesem Buch vor allem begeistert， wie sehr es in der hinteren Hälfte die Ereignisse der vorderen Hälfte wieder aufgreift - sehr zufriedenstellend， und so viel dramaturgische Kosequenz erlebe ich nach wie vor selten in Kinderbüchern。 Es ist außerdem einfach sehr lustig， wie Zog der Drache landet。 （Den ersten Band kenne ich nicht）。 Das Kind wollte das Buch nach ein paar Durchgängen nicht mehr vorgelesen bekommen， weil es Angst vor Abgesehen von der bewährten Donaldson/Scheffler-Dynamik hat mich an diesem Buch vor allem begeistert， wie sehr es in der hinteren Hälfte die Ereignisse der vorderen Hälfte wieder aufgreift - sehr zufriedenstellend， und so viel dramaturgische Kosequenz erlebe ich nach wie vor selten in Kinderbüchern。 Es ist außerdem einfach sehr lustig， wie Zog der Drache landet。 （Den ersten Band kenne ich nicht）。 Das Kind wollte das Buch nach ein paar Durchgängen nicht mehr vorgelesen bekommen， weil es Angst vor dem bösen Onkel hat。 。。。more

Love it。 Princess Pearl is just one of a set of Doctors who fly around on Zog。 However the uncle the King does not think princesses can be doctors。 That is until he needs her life saveing medicine。 I love this book。 The message， the rhymes， the cadence， and the illustrations。 It all works。

As you may already know， I wrote my undergraduate dissertation on gender representation in Julia Donaldson picture books。 I wish this book was published earlier because it would have been so interesting to include it in my dissertation。 A few years later， I now know this story and it is very enjoyable。

Such a cute story。 Julia Donaldson's stories are always so fun， colorful and a blast to share。 I can't wait to read this one as a bedtime tale for my favorite niece。 She is going to love the princess who wants to be a doctor。 Such a cute story。 Julia Donaldson's stories are always so fun， colorful and a blast to share。 I can't wait to read this one as a bedtime tale for my favorite niece。 She is going to love the princess who wants to be a doctor。 。。。more

We preferred the original Zog。 I didn't understand why he was crash landing everywhere。。。。 he was supposed to be an accomplished flier。 Still a fun story though！ We preferred the original Zog。 I didn't understand why he was crash landing everywhere。。。。 he was supposed to be an accomplished flier。 Still a fun story though！ 。。。more

A loaner from Indro library before the COVID lockdown - and another classic from the kids' favourite author。 Sure it's a bit annoying the the princess doesn't use Zog to roast the king alive for enforcing gender stereotypes， but I guess it's a kids book， AND there's plenty of militant keyboard warriors willing to do said roasting。 Mt problem isn't convincing other people that my daughter can aspire to be a doctor （or anything） and she doesn't need to be a girly princess。 My problem is convincing A loaner from Indro library before the COVID lockdown - and another classic from the kids' favourite author。 Sure it's a bit annoying the the princess doesn't use Zog to roast the king alive for enforcing gender stereotypes， but I guess it's a kids book， AND there's plenty of militant keyboard warriors willing to do said roasting。 Mt problem isn't convincing other people that my daughter can aspire to be a doctor （or anything） and she doesn't need to be a girly princess。 My problem is convincing my daughter to aspire to be anything BUT a girly princess。 This book helps a bit though。9/10 。。。more

Şu çevirilerde isimleri değiştirmeleri gerçekten çok kötü， okurken hikaye akmıyor。 “Civan Çelebi” nedir？ Yayazula Grufalo） nedir？ Yapmayın şunu。。。

2，5*Knihu vytvořila zavedená autorská dvojice， která má na svědomí mimo jiné i naprosto skvělého Gruffala。Tentokrát jsou pro mne， ale verše i příběh méně zajímavý a chytlavý。 Snad příště。

I was introduced to Zog when I borrowed the short film from the library。 After watching it twice I finally read the book， and Zog became my new favourite dragon。 Naturally I then ordered the sequel from the library and bought my own copy of the film so I could watch it to my heart’s content。I’ve been eagerly anticipating this read and I’m so disappointed that I was disappointed by it。 At the end of the first book， Princess Pearl， Gadabout the Great and Zog head off on a new adventure。 This book I was introduced to Zog when I borrowed the short film from the library。 After watching it twice I finally read the book， and Zog became my new favourite dragon。 Naturally I then ordered the sequel from the library and bought my own copy of the film so I could watch it to my heart’s content。I’ve been eagerly anticipating this read and I’m so disappointed that I was disappointed by it。 At the end of the first book， Princess Pearl， Gadabout the Great and Zog head off on a new adventure。 This book begins with the Flying Doctors living the life of their dreams。 Pearl is finally a doctor， Gadabout is performing surgery and Zog is flying them from patient to patient。 They tend to a sunburnt mermaid， a unicorn with an extra horn and a lion who’s got the flu。 Everything was going well and I was along for the ride … until （view spoiler）[Pearl is imprisoned by her uncle because， “Princesses can’t be doctors， silly girl！” The men （Gadabout and Zog） are then charged with trying to save this damsel in distress。 It isn’t until Pearl diagnoses her uncle’s illness and cures him that he decides it’s acceptable for a Princess to be a doctor。 As if she needed his permission！ Released from captivity， Princess Pearl and her two male saviours （who， incidentally， tried to save her but didn’t） go off on their merry way， smiling and waving to the man who imprisoned her。 （hide spoiler）] Nope， sorry。 That’s not a book I’d want to read again or put in front of a child。 The first book？ No hesitation。 I still absolutely love it。 I just wish I’d stopped there and imagined for myself the wonderful adventures that were to come for the Flying Doctors。 I loved the illustrations in this book; they’re the reason I’m giving this book 3 stars instead of 2。 ["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]> 。。。more

A fun story about a Knight and a Princess who are both doctors and they fly around the country helping subjects on their dragon。 The princesses uncle does not understand and he says a princess can’t be a doctor。 He locks her up and makes her wear frilly dresses and make cushions。 One day he gets sick and you can imagine who helps him get well。Julia did the ‘Gruffalo’ and this is another wonderful story。 I appreciate her fun sense of humor and the odd little worlds she creates。 This is my kind of A fun story about a Knight and a Princess who are both doctors and they fly around the country helping subjects on their dragon。 The princesses uncle does not understand and he says a princess can’t be a doctor。 He locks her up and makes her wear frilly dresses and make cushions。 One day he gets sick and you can imagine who helps him get well。Julia did the ‘Gruffalo’ and this is another wonderful story。 I appreciate her fun sense of humor and the odd little worlds she creates。 This is my kind of fantasy story。 The poor dragon， Zog， needs to learn how to land。 It’s a nice neat story where everything wraps up nicely and who can’t use a story like that here and there。The nephew loved this story。 He loved the dragon and all the animals they help like the lion。 He didn’t think either of them looked like a Knight or a Princess and I told him that was the point。 He gave this story 4 stars。 The niece loved the princess and how bold she was。 The princess knew who she was。 The niece thought this was a good story and she gave this 4 stars too。 。。。more
