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. Although not one word in this absurdly illustrated book is true, readers will find a wealth of information that will tickle their fancy and funny bones.
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.
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.
