About the Author

In 1959, Peter Yarrow and Lenny Lipton co-created the beloved song "Puff, the Magic Dragon." As a member of the renowned trio Peter, Paul & Mary, Peter Yarrow has earned many gold and platinum awards and numerous Grammys®, as well as an Emmy® nomination for his animated TV specials based on "Puff, the Magic Dragon." Among the many honors bestowed upon him, Yarrow is most proud of the Allard K. Lowenstein Award, which he received in 1982 for advancing the causes of human rights, peace, and freedom. He lives in New York City.
Lenny Lipton is the inventor of the modern 3-D projection system used in cinemas worldwide and the author of four books on motion-picture technology. He received an award from the Smithsonian for his invention. Eric Puybaret graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. Puff, the Magic Dragon was his first book, and he has since gone on to illustrate several others, including The Nutcracker for Sterling, and a picture book edition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow with a musical interpretation by Judy Collins. Puybaret lives in Paris, France.

I was so excited to give this book to a friend's baby. However, my new book was shipped torn, written in, and missing a CD. So disappointed in this experience. I will have to go elsewhere to buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Technically Great Product, but Pause Before Buying
Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2017
Verified Purchase
I'm giving this 5 stars because the board book is well produced, graphics were great and there's nothing really to critique if it's a story you wanted to read to the child(ren) in your life.

I, however, don't have any children and found myself with a 'deer-in-head's light' scramble after my first nephew was born. Despite the 9 months of celebration and planning, the day he was born I realized I forgot to buy books to him - Amazon to the rescue! :) I purchased a lot of books, my family strongly believes in reading to children several times a day, and encouraging their love of books, but I wish I hadn't purchased this. When rushing about to purchase books, I thought back on books that I had enjoyable memories and this was one of them. Yet as I held my nephew on my lap and read it to him, I realized quite quickly (it's a very short story) how sad the story actually was! Also, for those of us that remember the song of this tale it does seem to lose something in the reading of the book vs. the story.

To wrap up, this is a well produced & beautiful copy of the story if it's one that you want to share with your children. Just take a second to remember the full story and make sure it's something you actually want to read them.

Happy Reading!! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars This Book Answers What Happens After Jackie Paper Leaves Puff and Grows Up
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2022
Verified Purchase
There is not a moment in my life I can remember when I did not know Puff the Magic Dragon. The looming question throughout my life though was, what happened after Jackie Paper stopped coming to see Puff. The answer is as obvious as it is beautiful. Jackie grew up, and then brought his daughter to meet Puff. And the whole relationship started again anew. From generation to generation. L’ador V’ador, in Hebrew. Puff is truly the friend that has been passed to me by my parents, and now I have shared it with my daughter and nieces. Perhaps I have gotten sentimental in my old age, I always wanted to ask Peter Yarrow what happened next. It was so sad that Puff was left alone in a cave for the rest of his life. And of course, that is NOT what happened to Puff at all. Nor did Jackie just leave and never come back. Jackie gave puff the joy and love of his own daughter. THANK YOU PETER!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book - my daughter loves it and the song
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2010
Verified Purchase
I came across this in a bookstore. I love children's picture books and collect them for myself and still have most of the ones I grew up with. The illustrations in this book are wonderful.

As for the 'updates' to the story, I grew up with this album in the 70s and never remember feeling sad about the story. I agree there was no need to change the lyrics in any way, but PC is king (or queen! ha ha) these days. Interestingly though, Puff finding a new playmate does have a precedent: "The original poem [by Lipton] also had a verse that did not make it into the song. In it, Puff found another child and played with him after returning. Neither Yarrow nor Lipton remember the verse in any detail, and the paper that was left in Yarrow's typewriter in 1958 has since been lost."

My 2 1/2 year old daughter loves both the book and the song. The first time I played her the song from the CD, after it was over she said "wanna hear Puff Dragon Sea again?" and then when we got out of the car she said "Puff Dragon Sea, I like the music!" The song on the CD that comes with the book is like a lullaby version of the song, very slow and mellow; I prefer the more upbeat original version (which is redone very nicely on  Peter, Paul And Mommy . And of course the addition of "and girls" to the lyrics sounds awkward. But she loves all versions of the song and now knows all the words by heart, and I can play the slow CD version for her when she's going to sleep.

Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2014

How do I begin to describe this book? Let me start with the reason that I purchased it. I grew up with the old Puff cartoon. It's nostalgia still rings true with me today. I wanted my nephew to have the same fondness for this story that I do. I initially went looking for the old cartoon on DVD but, sadly, it's not yet released. 2015 can't come soon enough for that item! Anyway, I came across this pop-up book and instantly fell in love! It's got all of the great scenes in here, and comes with a cd of the song, so you can follow along with both and enjoy it to it's fullest. If you are as nostalgic for this as I am then it will mean all the more to you. The reading level is a little high for my nephew as he is just shy of two years old. The pop-up portions, though, will no doubt capture his attention just fine. The colors are soft and inviting even for a very young child. I can't wait for him to enjoy this story as much as I have!

This is a follow along book and the songs, which there are 3 of plus and instrumental, are performed by Peter, Paul and Mary. My daughter loves it and listens to it on repeat when she's going to sleep. The book is beautifully illustrated and if it is something that you enjoyed yourself as a child, it will bring back memories. The book, however is a paperback and the CD does not come with a case so added care is needed to make sure it does not get scratched. I recommend this book...
