Produktbeschreibungen
From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3-A decidedly moral tale involving a bevy of knights, damsels, and dragons, as well as a brave girl named Nicole. The only vegetarian dragon in a land full of carnivores, Herb peacefully tends his garden while others of his species munch on the castle's inhabitants. When the knights decide to catch and behead any dragons they can find, poor Herb is easily apprehended and imprisoned. He is about to be wrongly executed for the murders when Nicole steps in (and into his mouth) to prove his innocence. Using Herb as an example, the king makes a bargain with the rest of the dragons: if they agree to stop eating people, then the knights will stop hunting them. The carnivores agree, and there is a happy ending, as "dragons and people, meat-eaters and vegetarians, live together in peace and harmony." Some of the scenes are a little scary, especially the one in which Herb is tied down in preparation for beheading by a man in a black hood. However, the tone of the text remains light and the cartoon illustrations are humorous, with googly-eyed dragons and people being eaten without apparent pain. Herb is the goofiest dragon of all; he always seems to be gazing lovingly at some living thing. Lush with growing plants and green grass, the artwork is filled with details that readers will pore over.

I went out in search of a few good books on vegetarianism to read to my four-year-old son. This story is great; it is so real! (Despite the main characters being dragons, of course.) The message at the end is wonderful: "I won't ask you to change your habits/ideas/principles if you don't ask me to change mine".
Just FYI: the story was written by Jules Bass of Rankin/Bass fame (Frosty the Snowman, The Last Unicorn, Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer).
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I was amazed when a fellow friend and I stumbled onto this book. The details in the pictures are great and the book has an excellent message for children. At the time, I hesitated buying it, but after thinking about it for awhile, I have to get this book. Being a vegetarian myself and having numerous friends who are raising vegetarian children, this is a great book to give them. It shows that it is ok to be different. Thank you both for writing such a great book.

Don't eat people
6. Dezember 2004
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I adore this book, and my five year old delights in it as well. The message is excellent -- some people (and dragons) like to eat meat, some people (and dragons) like to eat veggies, and no one should eat people. I like that it isn't the least bit preachy. I happen to be a vegetarian, and my husband and child are not, and it isn't about one kind of eating being better than another, just different. If you have a "mixed" eating family like mine, or if your meat eating child has vegetarian friends, or your vegetarian child has meat eating friends, or if you enjoy any well-written, well-illustrated children's book, then this book belongs on your shelf.

beautiful art but mixed messages
28. Dezember 2002
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
...is just beautiful--the art throughout the book is the same colorful, vivid style as on the cover. However--there's a lot of text which makes it somewhat tedious for beginning readers, and I was rather shocked by both the text and pictures--even though the protagonist is veg, the book's message is more about tolerance for others' choices then portraying any one dietary choice as better than any other. ... This book leaves out the "why" of vegetarianism, which is for many parents the main thing they are trying to make clear to their children when buying a pro-veg book such as this. My personal qualms with the foggy message and the violence depicted are such that if it wasn't for the AWESOME artwork I would consider actually getting rid of it....
