A roaring good time for young readers, this whimsical and downright silly collection of facts, history, and lore offers a delightful peek into the secret world of dragons. In this series of colorful, engaging spreads, young readers will discover playful \”facts\” and colorful rumors about dragon life-from the basic anatomy of the species to the history of the friendship between dragons and humans and why it ended. There’s a collection of types of dragons: wimpy ones the size of annoying insects to giant ones that live in caves, volcanoes, or clouds. We learn the stages of a dragon’s childhood from hatched egg to advanced schooling. There’s a rogue’s gallery of infamous dragons; a sampling of popular dragon hobbies, and a guide to dragon health and common afflictions. Although not one word in this gloriously absurd book is true, readers will find a wealth of information that will tickle their fancy and funny bones. Fact: Dragons can lick their elbows. Fact: Dragons are fluent in eighteen languages. Fact: Dragons don’t actually breathe fire- they just have really bad indigestion. Fact: This book is perfect for kids that love dragons, facts, and a good laugh.
