Reviews
"My favorite kind of book to read aloud! Sweet and engaging, kids can't help but participate as you hunt for dragons and shake them loose from the book. Perfect for those who love There's A Monster At the End of This Book or The Book with No Pictures."--Maddie M., librarian
"This magical picture book will quickly become a frequent storytime selection."-- "Foreword Reviews"
Children will love the contradictions throughout, as well as the comparisons that give life to the narrator's case. A combination of story and mystery, this book is a grand addition to any children's collection.
