This book in my opinion is not, as you put it "centered heavily into the idea that Christianity is the one and only way to God". I truly take exception to that statement. That was the furthest thing from my mind when I wrote this book. First of all God is universal and anyone can find their way to him if they believe, no matter what their religious beliefs or affiliations are. I, myself just happen to be a Christian so that's where that came from. As for the beautiful garden being paradise and the wise old owl being "God", please give me a break! You apparently were "fishing" for religious connotations in this book but this certainly was not one. In no way whatsoever was the wise old owl intended to be God. You have put a great deal more religious themes into this book than there actually is, but you interpreted it in YOUR way. Lastly, as for the placement of the text, you are absolutely correct. I was not satisfied with that either, but that was the publishers doing. Thank you anyway for taking the time to review The Little Candy Breathing Dragons and please have a blessed day.
