Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Bestselling, award-winning author, Baer Charlton holds a degree in Social-Anthropology from the University of California at Irvine. His many interests have led him around the world in search of the different and unique.

As an internationally recognized photojournalist, he tracked mountain gorillas, was a podium for a Barbary Ape, communicated in sign language with an Orangutan named Boolon, kissed a kangaroo, and many other wild experiences in between--or he was just monkeying around.

There are no more complex and wonderful stories than ones coming from human experience. Mr. Charlton's stories are all driven by the characters you come to think of as friends, if not family.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Unusual and Good Book

I am a late comer to this book, having read some of Baer's other works first. What a vivid imagination! Wasn't sure what to expect based upon the title & illustrated cover. Is it a children's book? For pre-teens perhaps. An adult book? Not in the traditional sense of sex & violence. It's a good read for anyone. Well written, fascinating characters, and a story well told.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for all ages…
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2014
Tink, the littlest dragon works in a frame shop doing all the odd small jobs which makes him feel unimportant and self-conscious, but Tink also learns a great lesson as well. Bear Charlton has written the kind of story that all ages would enjoy and one that warms the heart and reminds us all of his readers that sometimes our weakness is what makes us the best we can be.

I would recommend this story to any reader that is looking for a great inspirational read…

4.0 out of 5 stars An International Tale of Finding One's Purpose ... and Biscuits
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2012
The Very Littlest Dragon tells the story of a multitude of dragons, especially the one who thinks he's the smallest, Tink. Tink's size and apparent lack of special skills in the frame shop where he works with many talented dragons and a talking bear make him feel less than special. But that is before he attends the dragon wedding of the century. From there, the reader is catapulted into a labyrinth of dragon history and folklore that result in Tink becoming the most special dragon of all.

The enchanting pictures by Laura Reynolds make the book worth just about any cover price. The writing is rich in detail, making the fantastic world of dragons perfectly plausible at the level of physics and answering all the questions you ever had about picture framing techniques. I enjoyed the interplay of dragon culture with the few humans we meet and the vast distances the dragons can travel because some of them (including Tink's brother, who acts as a willing chauffer) are capable of supersonic flight. The story is told obliquely through conversations over coffee, fish balls, and biscuits when not in frenzied action, and so the plot is not heavy-handed like it can be in some children's lit.

The editor in me won't let me end the review without noting that there are numerous textual errors in the paperback edition, ranging from misplaced commas to type-o's and misused words. Anyone who is not an editor will be able to pass these right by, as they never impede the intended meaning.

Overall, this book is for anyone from the ages of eight to one million who's looking for an imaginative, whimsical ride around the world and a sweet, positive message.

5.0 out of 5 stars charming story and characters
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2012
The Very Littlest Dragon is a charming story of the perils and accomplishments of a young dragon who does his best and succeeds in helping his friends and their world. The characterizations are effective and vivid while the characters are appealing. The ending seemed a bit abrupt, but perhaps it only seemed so because I wanted more of the story.
