I’ve given it as birthday present for years now, I’ve even managed to bring it twice (forgot about the previous year). When I travel and need a little gift, I pack the paper, scissors & glue, because the dragon once built is delicate.
A tip: put the dragon into a bowl (like a goldfish, no water though). Effect is even stronger.
I’ve also found there are 2 classes of people in their reaction to the little dragon: (a) aha, and then they turn away, (b) wow! and get really excited.
