Catherine Rayner, Author: Catherine Rayner. In a faraway place on a high mountain top', a dragon named Sylvia lives in a leafy paradise. The two become companions, but it takes a courageous act of true friendship by Bird (and a near disaster) for Sylvia to see that Bird is the very best friend she could wish for. A story that gently explores themes of expectation, loneliness, friendship and valuing others.

Sylvia and Bird is a 2009 picture book by Catherine Rayner. It is about the friendship between a dragon, called Sylvia, and a little yellow bird. Booktrust described Sylvia and Bird as "a story that gently explores themes of expectation, loneliness, friendship and valuing others". and The Daily Telegraph called it a "strange and simple story".

Sylvia is one good-looking dragon, however, and readers can spend a long time visually unravelling Rayner's swirly black outlines and swooping blue-green watercolors against a stark white backgrounds. Bird is equally pleasing as a blot of bright yellow. In all, though, it may impress the adult eye more than a child's. In this quiet tale about friendship, Sylvia the dragon is lonely. One day she startles a bird by heaving a big dragon sigh, and they become friends. It’s a great friendship, but Sylvia still finds herself wishing for the company of other dragons.

The artwork is adorable. The story line is one geared toward teaching a moral, but the artwork is what stands out. Still, any story focusing on love and acceptance of ourselves and the love from others is worthwhile.

I'm surprised no one else has written a review about this charming book. It's a story about an unlikely friendship between a dragon named Sylvia and a bird named... well, Bird. Sylvia is the only dragon on Earth and she's thrilled to have a friend in Bird. But when Bird cavorts with the other birds, Sylvia feels left out. She decides to fly to the moon to see if other dragons live there, but she doesn't want to leave Bird behind. In the end, I think the story teaches an important lesson about friendship and loyalty.

One of the reasons why this book is so appealing is the illustrations. They're almost Zen-like in simplicity and beauty. I think it's a very peaceful and calming book. My son, who just recently turned two, requests this book often.
