Representaion Toward Books Dragon on a Pedestal (Xanth #7)
This is the very first book I ever read. Other than "See Spot Run" that is. I am mildly dyslexic. Not enough to get the special classes in school, or beneficial status in college, but enough to have made learning how to read a truly traumatic experience. Then one summer my father gave me his copy of this book. I was about 8 or 9-years-old. It took me several months, and a lot of help, but I finished this book, and never looked back. As a young girl I didn't understand a lot of the puns Anthony uses, but I did know this was a story about a little girl, and a dragon, and a wonderful world where anything could happen. I have never lost the love I felt for Xanth at that moment. And I often reach for one of these books when this mundane world becomes to overwhelming. And while my husband's puns make me groan in pain, Anthony's always make me laugh, chuckle or smile. I will always cherish this book and I recommend it to anyone.

Like Night Mare, Anthony skips over most of his sexist remarks because the main character is a very precocious three year old who believes herself to be even smarter than the average tyke. Ivy's talent is definitely creative, even in the world of Xanth, but it is funny how arbitrary the judgement of its caliber is.Of course, even Anthony can't keep a toddler and a dragon compelling, so her mother must trek through the wilderness after her, constantly worrying that no one wants to see her pantiesI read this in 6th grade and LOVED it! I had no idea it was part of a series... which may explain why I was so lost! It was my foray into this genre so I didn't know what to expect. I feel I must go back and read the series!!
A fun and punny read.
I loved this book so much that at age 14, I knew I was going to read it to my children some day.
Very cute! Enjoyed reading it again.
I'm sure that the ability to enjoy Anthony's puns is a test of some kind. After a while the stereotyped female characters start to grow a little stale, as does the jokes at the expense of the female characters.
