In this delightful book, Lawrence W. Lee describes two dozen of the many dragons he has encountered in the past thirty-five years. Each dragon species is identified by scientific name, common name, and habitat, and includes notes about adaptations and personality characteristics and a beautiful, full-color illustration. This is the first book of its kind to ever receive the International Dragon Watchers Society seal of approval. It will be treasured by dragon watchers both new and experienced, and enjoyed by children of all ages.
sadly, i think this is one of those books with amazing potential that fell over itself with staid writing and artwork that seems to have been created during a particularly-poor acid trip... such a waste of a wonderful idea...
This book is absolutely delightful from cover to cover! If you ever thought dragons were scary, fire-breathing mythical creatures, think again! They actually come in all shapes and sizes, and are living among us! Young and old alike will delight in Lawrence Lee's wonderful descriptions, and colorful illustrations, I was surprised to learn that each dragon has its scientific name, and usual habitat! I enthusiastically recommend this brief field guide and believe that if you read it, you may find yourself looking for dragons in your own kitchen or garden! You may even want to organize an expedition to discover some of these dragons - or perhaps even discover a new species to report to the I.D.W.S. (International Dragon Watchers Society)
