This book is also very well written, which made it a pleasure to read aloud.I'm not good at judging the appropriate age range, but I think that this book would be good for almost all elementary school kids. It was the depth of this relationship that made the book's ending so poignant. But the best part of this book was watching the relationship develop between Jeremy and his dragon. The plot of this book had enough depth to it to hold everyone's interest (including mine). But when he wonders into a magic shop one day after school, he's faced with a task that is anything but typical, hatching and raising a dragon. His art teacher gives him a hard time, even though art is his best subject. Jeremy Thatcher is a sixth grader, and his struggles are typical for his age. The series also includes Jennifer Murdley's Toad, which both of my boys heard at school. I loved this book, and so did both my first-grader and my fourth-grader! This is one of Bruce Coville's Magic Shop Books.
