Imagine a Dragon

By Pringle, Laurence P. & Neilan, Eujin Kim

Publishers Summary:
Imagine a scaly creature over a hundred feet long that spews fire from its mouth and beats its wings to fly. Or imagine another creature with the head of a camel, horns like a deer, and paws like a tiger.

An English dragon might terrorize the countryside, while a Chinese dragon might cause a drought, a flood, or even a hurricane! In this stunning book, richly illustrated by Eukin Kim Neilan, Laurence Pringle explains how people came to believe in dragons, and offers young readers a lively look at dragons from cultures around the world.
