Pembahasan singkat disertai ilustrasi lumayan garang tentang naga-naga dalam berbagai mitologi dunia dan dalam fiksi-fiksi populer. Selain naga dalam mitologi Yunani, Tiongkok, Oceania, Eropa, dan Asia, ada juga naga ekor berduri Hungaria dan naga-naganya Tolkien. Format bukunya kurang ramah dipegang karena kayak buku gambar. Tapi ini buku yang bagus buat para penggemar naga.

I thought it was a very informational book and was very cool to look at dragons and read about culture all around the world! The book had very good stories and made me want to read. I think this book is good for ages 5-11 for all of the kids that like stories and folklore.

A fun little introduction to different dragons and myths from around the world. My nieces would probably love it when they're a bit older but it's a fun little read as an adult too.

I wish the chapters were more obviously separated and there’s repeated info just to fill space it feels like.

This short grade school primer on Dragons and dragon-lore is a fun read for a smart 4th grader up to a big kid like me! It has great artwork, and a wide range of mythical dragon beasts from around the world and fictional lands of literature. A great coffee table book, and 'Gotta Have It' for Dragon lovers!

They do have the 'size' chart messed up though, so that looses them 1 star. Also, the author's assumptions are sometimes stated as fact, which looses them another star from me. So, 3 stars and I call it a Fun Read.

A great introduction to some famous dragons of legend, myth, and pop culture. Mainly read it to catch up on my Tolkien dragon knowledge, but quite a few firebreathers pop up here. Definitely a good beginner's guide to various dragons. If you want details on lineage, or more on their stories, you may have to do some further reading. But if you want to read and catch regional glimpses (through the illustrations) of how they're portrayed this is a good place to start.

Total ada 20 naga yang dikupas di buku ini. Informasi singkat, tetapi lumayan informatif. Ada cerita di balik naga tersebut, ciri-ciri fisiknya, perkiraan lokasinya, dan beberapa trivia menarik. Dilengkapi dengan ilustrasi berwarna.

If you like the part where they handed Harry Potter his dragon this book is for you. This books list dragons on where you can locate them, actual size, and did you know facts. Illustrations are very colorful and nicely done.
