Delve deep into the fascinating world of these imaginary creatures. The fantastic journey begins with a look at real animals that have a lot in common with dragons—including the 140-million-year-old tuatara, the frilled lizard, and a host of dinosaurs. Then, children are welcomed into a dragon’s home; introduced to the wonderful variety of dragons that once existed (and some that still do); given the latest in dragon research; and beguiled with dragon lore from around the world. All the secrets of dragon flight are revealed, and bountiful color illustrations capture everything from dragon footprints to a baby hatching from an egg.
