The fresh, friendly new illustrations of this edition factor heavily in the seamlessly child-centered book design. Besides breaking up the text with images (so as not to intimidate young readers with text blocks), the illustrations are thoughtfully placed to fit the exact moment they occur in the story, working exceptionally well when the art crosses a double-page spread. Just like the short chapters and simple vocabulary, the text blocks' avoidance of hyphenated words at line ends or sentences that carry over to the next page keeps the book easily digestible for its emergent-reader audience. The inviting format and zany fun of the plot will leave readers excited for the next installment... A very welcome series revival. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><p><b>Praise for <i>Rise of the Earth Dragon</i> (Dragon Masters #1): </b></p><p>In this first of the Dragon Masters series, vocabulary is accessible; sentences, paragraphs, and chapters are short; and dialogue moves the story along rapidly. Black-and-white sketch-type drawings add depth to the story and feelings to the characters (both children and dragons). Emergent readers will find happy success here. --<i>Booklist</i></p><p>The first of a new series of early chapter books, this entry is sure to attract fans. Brief chapters, large print, lots of action, attractive illustrations in every spread including a maplike panorama, an enviable protagonist... who wouldn't want to be a Dragon Master?... all combine to make an entertaining read. With plenty left to be resolved, the next entry will be eagerly sought after. --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tracey West has written more than 300 books for children and young adults, including the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling Dragon Masters series, the Pixie Tricks series, and the Hiro's Quest series.
