I guess I'll just have to note it in my reviews since the last thing I need is more lists.ĭandelion is a really cute story that is just like the description states. We listened to Dandelion on the way back to the library yesterday morning and I'm starting to wish I'd made an 'audio' list now so I can look back later on all of the books we listened to. It must be why I appreciate Drag Queens and fashion icons.

The artwork is cute and it starts out as a great story, but I didn't like the end.

I get not putting on aires and whatnot, but this was silly. What? This was obviously the days before make-overs. The end is Lion saying he will never try and be fancy again. Lion dries out and then knocks again and now fussy old Giraffe, unworthy giraffe, recognizes Dandelion. A rainstorm blows up and the wind blows away the flowers and hat and his hair is wetted and he takes off his new sweater. What kind of friend doesn't recognize a person based on hair and outfit? Giraffe is not a good friend. He knocks on his supposed friends door and when giraffe, and I'm so offended that the giraffe turns out to be so horrible, giraffe doesn't recognize Dandelion and slams the door in his face. So Lion is Dandelion and he has been invited to a party at Giraffe's and he goes out and gets his hair done and picks out a new outfit to look his best. Hmm, I was enjoying this story and then the end sort of changed my opinion, I think.
