Reviewed by NymphaeaFrann Preston-Gannon’s Dandylion Summer is a sweet, character-driven picture book.
When two sisters make a wish upon a dandelion, the seeds scatter and bring them Dandylion, a friend to play with all summer long. Together, they go on lots of adventures.
As the seasons change, Dandylion must say goodbye―but fall is on the way, with new friends to meet and wonders to explore!
Two sisters, one summer and a big ‘ole lion.
This is a whimsical story that’s just right for this time of year–early summer. This book flows well and the characters are fun. The little girls and Dandylion are great. I liked how the lion is part of summer and shows the fun of the season. I love how the girls explore with the lion and don’t keep him to themselves but share him. Just like summer, he should be shared. I loved that this is a good story for young readers or someone wanting to be read to.
If you’re looking for a good summer book that’s entertaining and sweet, then this is the book for you.
