“I picked this book up at a friend’s house and ordered five. This is more than a book about vision impairment. It speaks to the concern that every parent has when their child is deemed different. At a time when we need more civil in our society this beautiful book speaks in an authentic voice encouraging our youngest citizens to accept themselves and help others. Fraydo is wonderful.”

“Read it while shopping for a children’s book to give. So much fun — and ultimately a great lesson on getting advice and solving problems. What a great story, neat illustrations too.”

“My daughter (7) and I enjoyed reading this book together. She poured over the illustrations, looking for Fraydo’s friend PeeWee on each page and reading all the village signs. She recommends Fraydo the Dragon to kids who like fantasy, magic, and dragons and funny books. I recommend it to parents and teachers who are looking for a way to discuss or explain that sometimes there is more to a friend or classmate’s challenging or problematic behavior than meets the eye. It’s a great story for encouraging kids to be more empathetic and to raise their awareness of the many ways (including vision differences) that people are different from one another.”

“Fraydo the Dragon is a wonderful story with beautiful illustrations. The quality of the book is top notch and the illustrations are detailed, colorful, funny and really cute. I love the story of Fraydo and how many messages my kids can learn throughout the book. It’s about a dragon with poor eyesight who is “misbehaving” because he can’t see or read but it’s also about learning to pay attention to people around you, learning to listen and ask questions and about friendship. It’s an all around fun book with many great messages. I hope you like it as much as I do.”

This is a super sweet and funny story that appeals to kids of all ages…from the fifth grade students I teach to the kids at my own house (ages 3 and 6). Fraydo is clumsy and lovable, and his difficulty with spacial awareness and accident prone behavior cause him to be misunderstood leaving him with few playmates. When he discovers he needs glasses, readers will be delighted by what happens next! My kids loved the illustrations and hidden pictures on each page. They laughed out loud at many moments, particularly when Fraydo finally sees himself in the mirror declaring “a dragon!! Run for your lives!!” The night after we first read this book, my son, age 3 asked “can we read that dragon story again?”….a true testimony to it’s awesomeness!

As a child, learning to navigate this world is tough, but it’s next to impossible when you cannot see! Thank you, Little Fire Press, for publishing Fraydo the Dragon: A Very Big Problem! My kids love the story and are delighted when Fraydo finally gets his glasses. This book is both entertaining and enlightening about the importance of childhood vision health.
