This sweet story is about a dragon who befriends a red headed girl named Luna. They share a love of books and stories and start a bookshop on the back of the dragon. It‘s a lovely story. Sometimes it rhymes, sometimes not, but for this story that doesn‘t really matter. It works.

The message is great: books can bring us together. I thought I would love this children‘s #picturebook but it‘s a little too didactic for my taste. I‘m fussy. Still calling it a pick, because, hey, the message is a good one. Also, the art is sweet. Just look at that chubby dragon and that confident girl child!

“Luna and Franklin feel like they are made out of stories.

Stories about exciting beginnings, thrilling middles, and very happy ends. Stories about new people and strange places and about making friends.”

I‘m not sold on the illustrations but the text speaks to my book-loving heart and the power of stories to bring people together.

Not the best reading month quantity wise, but a great one quality wise. I loved everyone except the last one. There I have mixed feelings, I think I missed Lumiere, Mrs Potts and the rest of them more than I expected to.

Well, I must admit that I have had better readathons, but sometimes life gets in the way. So, overall, happy about the amount I actually did read for #24in48. An added bonus is that two of the books qualifies for the #MountTBRchallenge. Book 2 and 3 were bought in September

DivaDiane Awesome! Well done! 7y

I who never have plans during the weekend, are suddenly all booked so curious to find out how much reading I'll actually do.

The kindness of new friends...🤗 @BekahPat your package arrived earlier this week, and I made myself wait until my first full week back at work was in the books...well, almost in the books. Wow! First, thank you for thinking of my little ones. These books are fantastic; my son enjoyed opening them AND having me read them right away!

JackOBotts Thank you for sending some of your hometown to mine: the handmade mug by a local artist, the locally made steak seasoning, the TX Starbucks ornament. I can‘t wait to enjoy the teas and eat ALL THE COOKIE BUTTER OREOS! You are amazing. I‘m lucky to call you my friend. Merry merry! ❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚 7y
britt_brooke So nice! 7y
Smangela Those cookie butter Oreos are more than delicious 😍 7y

bookloo Cookie butter Oreos?!?? Whaaaat? Brb I‘m going to the store NOW. 😍 7y
BekahPat I am so glad the books were a hit with the little one. I must confess I read them both before I wrapped them up and I loved them. They both had excellent illustrations and I enjoyed the stories. Wishing you and your family a fabulous Christmas season 💝⭐️📚 7y
JackOBotts @BekahPat the books are incredible. Where did you hear about them?! Owen is into the planets, so Here We Are is especially perfect...and who doesn‘t love dragons?! Really both terrific books. 7y
JackOBotts @bookloo & @Smangela - Right?! Cookie Butter Oreos...a dangerously delicious combination. Must finish before new year‘s resolutions are made! 😉 7y
JackOBotts @britt_brooke Agreed! @BekahPat is super wonderful. 🤗 7y

How can you not read such a cute book? Franklin loves to read about everything - space and bees and flowers and roller skating and bears! And he really wants to share his love of reading with everyone ... unfortunately everyone is scared of him because he is a dragon. Will he ever find the friend he seeks?

I don‘t normally buy children‘s books, but every review I read raved about it, and it has bookshop in the title, so I ordered a copy. The reviews are right. This book is an absolute delight, beautifully written and illustrated. I am very glad I ordered a copy and it is a definite keeper.

Why yes, I am a childless 31 year old woman who is sitting herself down to read herself a picture book about a dragon who likes books. I see nothing awry with this.
I did offer to read it outloud to my roommate, but he is watching hockey.

This just came out in the states yesterday and I knew I had to have it. It's a sweet little story if a dragon who just wants to share his favorite stories with the world. It isn't until he meets a fearless, redheaded reader that he is finally able to get his wish. It's adorable, beautifully illustrated, and I love the cover. I can't wait to share this with the little readers in my life ❤

Love, love, loved this. Franklin's Flying Bookshop tells of a dragon (Franklin) who loves books and reading to people but sadly people don't often love him. That is until he meets a young girl called Luna and the best bookish friendship begins... Adorable story from Jen Campbell stunningly illustrated by Katie Harnett. I've already re-read it twice, once to my beloved who also loved it.
