《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 3-8-Here there be dragons, indeed-a total of five poems and eight stories from the prolific Yolen. Each selection is preceded by a chatty introduction explaining some aspect of where, when, how, or why she wrote it. She has clearly given much thought to dragons, and presents them convincingly from many points of view. ``Great-grandfather Dragon's Tale'' is a plausible, if revisionist, retelling of the legend of St. George from a different point of view. ``The Dragon's Boy'' is an episode in the early life of Artos and Merlin in the spirit of T.H. White's The Sword in the Stone. ``Cockfight'' is a story about Jakkin of Austar IV and his red dragon, which led to Yolen's well-known trilogy of dragon novels.``The King's Dragon'' and ``One Ox, Two Ox, Three Ox, and the Dragon King'' are pieces that have the familiar motifs and rhythmic cadences of authentic folktales, making them good read-aloud choices. There are evil dragons as well as good ones in this collection, and after experiencing their variety and might, readers won't be able to help echoing the author's hope that they will return some day.-Susan L.

出版社周刊评论
Dragon-lovers and maybe even dinophiles will unite to celebrate Yolen's (the Dragon's Blood trilogy) virtuosic poems and stories about dragons. Some new, others previously published, the entries cover a spectrum of genres: tales of heroic battles, romance, fantasy, science fiction (one story is set on another planet), occasional blood and guts, a story of Chinese origin, an ancient story retold (Merlin is a dragon) and even borscht-belt humor (`` `Is that all you can say?' asked the dragon. `I tell you I am The Dragon and all you can answer is oh ?' ''). Yolen introduces each selection, supplying its genesis and adding invitingly personal anecdotes (e.g., her son had a tattoo made from an illustration for the poem ``The Making of Dragons''). An older reader's companion to Jack Prelutsky and Peter Sis's The Dragons Are Singing Tonight (Children's Forecasts, Oct. 11). Illustrations not seen by PW. Ages 10-up. (Nov.)

From the mysterious to the humorous, Yolen offers her own distinctive additions to dragon lore in this enjoyable collection of eight short stories and five poems. She introduces each selection with informal comments on its origin and content. Some of the carefully executed pencil drawings, including the jacket, are particularly effective.

Kirkus评论
New, reworked, or reprinted--13 stories and poems. Here, St. George is not a dragon-slayer but a friend; the dragon pits of Austar IV test trainers as well as dragons; the healer Tansy is no healer to dragons, while dragonslayer Lancot is no hero at all, except to Tansy; and, in ``The Dragon's Boy''--a short story that was a predecessor of the novel of the same name--old ``Linn'' (a.k.a. Merlin) makes a bad dragon but a good teacher for Artos. These stories and poems are a little uneven, with language and ideas extending over a considerable span of difficulty and sophistication. Still, most have at least a glimmer of an idea, and there continues to be a ready market for dragons. And Wilgus's full-page illustrations, in soft pencil emulating the effect of lithographs rendered on stone, are especially appealing--beautifully modulated forms, subtle characterizations, classic images of dragons, handsome, formally structured compositions. Inviting. (Fiction. 10+)
