Dragonology: Deluxe Field Guide and Models

Dragonology Chronicles

by Ernest Drake

Twelve intriguing mini models in the most deluxe field guide yet — an irresistible hands-on resource for devoted dragonologists!

Even skilled dragonologists need special preparation to study in the field. What if an unfamiliar species should approach? Now an impressive guide highlights nineteen different dragon species, many seen here for the first time. Focused on species from the obscure tree-climbing monkey dragon to the better-known wyvern and amphithere, each entry details size, shape, coloration, habitat, the appearance of eggs and young, and (most important) form of attack. To help readers recognize dragons in the wild, mini models of twelve of the species await assembly, each tucked in its own pocket and complete with its own stand.

Part of the Dragonology series. Contains 12 miniature models to assemble of various types of Dragons. More for the younger readers of these books as the booklets included contain information found in most other variants in this series.

More Dragonology. In Mmany ways, this is just a pamplet of a book that exists to support the dragon models. I have yet to assemple one of these smaller models, but the larger ones in the Dragonology Tracking and Taming Dragons Volume 1: A Deluxe Book and Model Set: European Dragon and Dragonology Tracking and Taming Dragons Volume 2: A Deluxe Book and Model Set: Frost Dragon books assembled well and were fun to hang from my daughter's ceiling.

This volume does add several new dragons to the Dragonology universe that I think are welcome. Also welcome are several practical tracking tips useful for any type of tracking, not just the tracking of cryptids.

This is a big hardback, spiral-bound book with eight card dragons you can make. For me, it's worth five stars for the pencil illustrations alone, by the (uncredited) Douglas Carrel. If I'm honest I got a lot more out of it than my son did, though he did spend a bit of time putting the dragon models together.

yes I cried,not because of how sad the dragons were, but because of the rage of NOT KNOWING HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE STUPID PIECES AND HAVING NO ACTUAL "GUIDE" FOR IT

WHOEVER WROTE THIS BOOK,respectfully, GIVE UP

More of a kit than a book

I did not like this book, very plain and seems repetitive of the information provided by the complete field guide
