My daughter Bridget loves books and is just starting to learn how to read. We own a tonne of books and she enjoys being read to and looking at the books on her own and figuring out the storyline from the pictures. We had the opportunity to review the first book in ebook format in the Danny the Dragon series by author, Tina Turbin. The book is titled Danny the Dragon "Meets Jimmy".
This book follows Danny the Dragon and his friend Skipper as they meet a little boy named Jimmy and his family in an unusual way. It is a heartwarming story and Bridget really enjoyed reading about Danny. He is a magical kind of character that kids will love. The illustrations are enchanting and beautifully done making this an enjoyable book to read to your little one. 
Bridget prefers actual books over ebooks, but she still loved the story. I know she would want to read more books in the Danny the Dragon series and they would be perfect for a child who is learning to read. We look forward to reading more of Tina Turbin's Danny the Dragon books! They come highly recommended!
