I felt this was a cute book - illustrations were bright and colorful and the rhyming was fun - but I felt that it maybe went on a little too long.

I really enjoyed the vibrant, colorful, fun illustrations in this book. And the rhyming story is sure to be enjoyable for parents to read, and it’s silly enough to make kids giggle and reach for it over and over again. A good one to add to your children’s library.

What a sweet story!
Adorable, humorous, and fun rhyming to keep the little ones engaged.
The dragon is persistent and tries lots of things to figure out how to accomplish his goal!
Looking forward to the smores the dragon makes in the next one.

Adorable tale. Just enough mischief and goofiness. My daughter (3) thought it was very silly. Giggling throughout, engaged in the dragons failures and invested in his success. The book is colorful, bright, and gives 90’s vibe in terms of the color palate. Would absolutely read again!

My 5 and 7 year old's really enjoyed reading this book for story time! It is a very good book that keeps kids interests sparked.

The illustrations and idea for the story are very cute! I did few that the story went on a bit too long as my kids and I were losing interest. This is a good one to read on a hot summer day followed by a snow cone 🍧! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Join the dragon in this problem solving adventure following a dragon who would like to enjoy a snow cone like all the other creatures. Highlighting themes of problem solving ad the dragon tries to figure out how they can eat a snow cone through asking others and trying different things. As the dragon tries to figure out how to eat the snow cone they are met with disappointment and frustration but still they persevere.

Dragons Can't Eat Snow Cones by Amanda Sobotka is an absolute delight! My kids couldn’t stop laughing and were completely enchanted by this dragon’s hilarious quest to enjoy his favorite treat without turning it into a puddle.
The rhymes are playful and engaging, making it a joy to read aloud, and the vibrant illustrations brought the story to life in such a fun way. Beyond the laughs, the book also delivers a wonderful message about creativity and perseverance, which I appreciated just as much as the kids did.
This charming tale has quickly become a bedtime favorite in our house, and I imagine we’ll be reading it over and over again. Highly recommend for kids who love dragons, snow cones, or just a good laugh!

This was a really funny book about a dragon trying his best to eat a snow cone without melting it. It's hilarious and the illustrations add to the laughs, with cute Easter eggs and funny expressions and other animals mixed in.
It felt a tad bit too long to the point interest was lost, but still a fun adventure with the little ones.

I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.
I fun story about a poor dragon who wants to know what a snow cone tastes like. They ask all kinds of animals and get some interesting advice. WIll they ever taste a snow cone? Only with a little help.

My son and I really enjoyed reading this book together! It was super cute and definitely a book I would purchase for myself or friends! :)

Cute story and super cute illustrations. The rhyming is very catchy. My dragon loving kiddos think it’s funny!

This book is so much fun! I just knew from the cover and title that I would enjoy it. I look forward to purchasing this for my own children and for my classroom. I’m certain they’ll have as much fun with this as I did!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for the eARC! A silly book about how a dragon wants to eat a snow cone but seeing the challenges that come with it. Young readers will find the journey of trying to eat the snow cone hilarious. The pictures are bright and very catchy to the eye and the fun font throughout the book is catchy too. Young animal lovers will love this book!

His is such a lovely, creative book. We really enjoyed reading it as a family and all my children enjoyed it. I would highly recommend!

“Dragons Can’t Eat Snowcones” is an adorable book with a great message! I can see this book being loved by younger kids as well as older kids. As a teacher, I can imagine using this book to teach theme. The book is easy to follow and entertaining.

This book is so cute! I think it would lend itself nicely to lessons in the classroom in perseverence. I love that it gives some great opportunities for discussion about possible solutions to the problem that the dragon faced. The vocabulary lends itself to discussion as well. The illustrations are vivid and clear, and match the text nicely. I think a pre-k through first grade student would really enjoy reading this book.

This was such a cute and creative book. I really enjoyed reading it to my child. I would highly recommend it!

Thank you to NetGalley and Applesauce Press. I did like the premise of the book but I felt like it dragged on for a children’s book and my son lost interest.

My kid loves all things dragons and especially silly books with rhyme. This was a hit and we loved the illustrations
