I pressed harder on the gas, but the piece-of-shit scrap metal clunker I called a car was rapidly losing steam. “Just a few more blocks and we’ll be home, sweet home.” “Come on, baby, don’t you dare give up on me now.” I rubbed the dashboard of my old clunker as it rattled down the street.

I cannot believe how much information is just divulged, willy-nilly, right there on the book jacket. It pretty much gives away the entire first half of the story, which is crazy.

Susan Marie Pitard, Weezie Library for Children, Nantucket Atheneum, MAĬopyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. Herb, the Vegetarian Dragon (Barefoot Books) Bass, Jules 340 ratings by Goodreads ISBN 10: 1902283368 /ISBN 13: 9781902283364 Published by Barefoot Books, 1999 UsedCondition: GoodHardcover Save for Later FromGoodwill Books(Hillsboro, OR, U.S.A. Lush with growing plants and green grass, the artwork is filled with details that readers will pore over. Herb is the goofiest dragon of all he always seems to be gazing lovingly at some living thing. 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. 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. 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. He is about to be wrongly executed for the murders when Nicole steps in (and into his mouth) to prove his innocence. When the knights decide to catch and behead any dragons they can find, poor Herb is easily apprehended and imprisoned. 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. Kindergarten-Grade 3-A decidedly moral tale involving a bevy of knights, damsels, and dragons, as well as a brave girl named Nicole. The audiobook received a starred review from Booklist.
