Title: Saint George -- Gory and too long
Review: I purchased this book for my 4 year old based on all of the good reviews and the Caldecott medal. I was very disappointed, and I am planning on sending the book back to Amazon. This is a first for me because I generally love children's books. The illustrations in this book were beautiful, but the story was just not told in a very interesting way. It was very long and yet did not explain a lot of things and left loose ends. It was also very gory -- Saint George hacks off various parts of the dragon and the pictures show the dragon fighting with a hacked off leg. Yuck!
