Sing with me if you remember the words to the classic poem/song…“Puff the Magic Dragon lived by the sea, And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honalee.” Ahhhh…those words and tunes bring back memories… If you’ve not experienced Puff and all his magical wonder, then you’re in for a treat!

My son was gifted the green, fabric-woven, oversized, hardback collector’s book version by his godparents when he was but a year old!

We read this (and many, many others) to him several nights for bedtime stories. He grew to love it, too. It’s so touching and warm and even a bit sad in places, too.
