Fraydo the Dragon Book and Workshop Reviews


“FTD Club’s Pen Pal Workshop was amazing! My daughter loved Fraydo and Pee Wee the Dragon! In the end, my daughter received The Certificate of Awesomeness which was signed by The Queen and The Knight!  What a nice touch!  Way to go, Miss Courtney!”  ~ P. Turk


“My son was so excited to watch the FTD Club Pen Pal Workshop movies (four of them each week).  My son was taught how to write a letter to each character in the picture book, Fraydo the Dragon: A Very Big Problem.  Animated characters discussed Fraydo’s big problem and how that impacted the entire Kingdom of Aragon. It was super sweet and engaging!   ~ A. Conners


“The BEST online workshop my child has EVER taken! Miss Courtney (Author) created an entire make-believe world called the Kingdom of Aragon with animated characters like Sir Conrad, The Queen, Pee Wee the Dragon, and Fraydo the Dragon.”

 ~ H. Gives


“Brava! My son LOVED your FTD Club Pen Pal Letter Writing Workshop!”  ~ A. Phillips


“Thank You! My daughter can now craft and write a letter!”  ~ C. Hadden


“Darling! We adored Fraydo the Dragon Club’s Pen Pal Workshop. The interviews between the animated characters and the author were incredible!” ~ H. Asher


“I picked this book up at a friend’s house and ordered five. 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 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.

— Kelly Murphy, Parent


Thank you, Little Fire Press, for bringing Fraydo the Dragon: A Very Big Problem! and its message of preventative childhood eye care to our parent community. Fraydo represents the majority of children who are not even aware that their vision is compromised. These kids do not complain. Often the only clue is that they can’t catch a ball or are struggling with reading. Then one day, if they are lucky, they find their way to a pediatric eye doctor. The vision problems are addressed and, for the first time in their lives, their eyes can see accurately, work comfortably, and move efficiently. Young eyes develop rapidly. A child without any risk factors should be first examined between 6 and 12 months of age, around age 3, before first grade, and every two years afterward unless a vision problem has been detected.

“Fraydo the Dragon: A Very Big Problem! sheds light, in a humorous and thoughtful way, on the significance of childhood vision health. Educators know that so much of learning is visual and that an undetected vision issue can compromise a child’s academic success, classroom confidence and joy of reading and learning. Thank you, Little Fire Press, for offering a creative way to begin an important conversation about the health of our children’s eyes.”

— Kate Anderson, Educator, M.S. Ed.


“Little Fire Press’ debut children’s book, Fraydo the Dragon: A Very Big Problem!, is the first picture book to play out the behavioral and social consequences associated with poor vision. It is a fun story for children that also carries an important message about early, poor-vision detection for all parents, caregivers and educators.”

— Claudia Grove, M.Ed, Mental Health Therapist
