A review of "Sloth the Lazy Dragon" by professional storyteller Lainie Belcastro!

Lainie Belcastro, writer, speaker, professional storyteller and Guardian Angel Member (Guardian Angel Publishing), had this to say about Sloth the Lazy Dragon:

"What a wonderful vehicle to introduce good eating and exercise habits for children!  In Sloth the Lazy Dragon, author Regan W. H. Macaulay, gives the reader a delicious sense of balance in understanding the importance of taking care of oneself with proper diet and exercise!  A delightful story that also offers a plus opportunity to discuss new words to little ones.  With an entertaining storyline and beautifully illustrated characters by the artistic talents of Alex Zgud, one needs very little imagination to picture the dilemma of overweight “Sloth the Dragon” and his energized training coach “Radish!”  Together they make a great team with memorable words and colorful pages that will keep the interest of its audience.   The biggest gain with this darling book is its positive message encouraging readers of the importance in taking care of their health and wellness."
