Puff, The Magic Dragon
“Puff has appeared to me both childlike and wise, a king but also a willing follower of just about any bright spirit that inspired him. Puff gives his whole heart and soul to one special friend…One day, as you can see at the end of this book, a new and special friend comes to Honalee…In this way Puff and Jackie’s friendship continues through new children like you.” —Peter Yarrow
Puff, the Magic Dragon is simply one of the most beloved songs of all time—a classic that’s become as much a part of the childhood experience as Mother Goose and fairy tales. Yet singer/songwriter Peter Yarrow and co-composer Lenny Lipton have never allowed a picture book adaptation of this magical tale…until now. With Yarrow’s and Lipton’s blessing, Puff, Jackie Paper, and the land of Honalee finally live on the page. The exquisite package includes a cloth case with a tipped-in illustration and an embossed jacket with foil touches, as well as an exclusive CD featuring not only Puff, but several other songs performed by Yarrow, his daughter Bethany, and cellist Rufus Cappadocia. This is a publishing event sure to attract broad attention and please Puff’s many fans.
In richly-hued paintings of the deepest sea blues and greens, Puff and his friend Jackie Paper frolic in the land of Honalee—traveling in a fantastic boat with billowed sails, climbing red castle stairs onto a balcony to meet with noble kings and princes, and watching pirate ships lower their flags for the roaring dragon. Artist Eric Puybaret has brought an entire magical world into being with enthralling landscapes, color, and characters. And everyone will love the way the art cleverly turns the song’s end, which at first seemed so sad, into a surprising and joyful moment.
Best of all—this is only the first of many more collaborations with Peter Yarrow to come!
Overall, The complete compendium of magic and witchcraft by Kathryn Paulsen is a comprehensive and informative resource for anyone interested in exploring the fascinating world of magic and witchcraft..

1. Jane - 2/5 - I had high hopes for "The Complete Compendium of Magic and Witchcraft" by Kathryn Paulsen, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The book lacked depth and clarity in its explanations of different magical practices. As a beginner to witchcraft, I was looking for a comprehensive guide that would introduce me to the world of magic, but this book failed to provide that. The author's writing style was dry and lacked enthusiasm, making it hard for me to stay engaged. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others seeking a thorough understanding of magic and witchcraft.
2. Michael - 1/5 - I found "The Complete Compendium of Magic and Witchcraft" by Kathryn Paulsen to be a complete waste of time. The information presented in the book was incredibly basic and could easily be found with a simple Google search. The author made no effort to provide any unique insights or perspectives on magical practices but instead regurgitated information that is widely available elsewhere. Additionally, the formatting and organization of the book were chaotic, making it difficult to follow along and understand the concepts being discussed. Save your money and look for better resources on the topic.
3. Sarah - 2/5 - "The Complete Compendium of Magic and Witchcraft" by Kathryn Paulsen didn't meet my expectations. The author seemed more interested in recounting stories and anecdotes rather than providing practical guidance or in-depth knowledge about magic and witchcraft. I felt that the book lacked a logical structure and failed to delve into the deeper aspects of the subject matter. While the personal experiences shared by the author were interesting, they didn't contribute to my understanding of magic in a meaningful way. Overall, I found this book to be more of a memoir than an informative guide to magic and witchcraft.
