The song Puff the Magic Dragon was written by Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton and this book is based on it's lyrics. It is about a young boy and his dragon friend Puff. In this book Jackie Paper loves Puff as his best friend. They do everything together and have many adventures. Jackie Paper would have to leave Puff behind because as the books states, "dragons never grow up but boys and girls do". Even though Jackie does not play with Puff anymore he later brings his daughter to play with Puff the way he did as a young child.
I had to post about this book because it is very dear to me. I had the wonderful opportunity to hear Peter Yarrow sing and talk about his book. It was a touching experience and this book means more to me because I feel a real connection to the author.
