A fresh, exciting look at dragons strange and familiar, old and new. There are dragons of simply every shape, size and persuasion here. Some are the bravest of the brave like the one in 'No Contest' who dares to fight Mum, then there's the musical octet in 'Dragon Band', not forgetting the lost and forlorn in 'Lost and Found'. I loved and went into giggles about one of the shortest, 'Drawback', a dragon who is cross-eyed which means the worst when breathing fire and flames. Why I've waited so long to mention the illustrations I don't know - they're sensational.
