Summary
"Even though clues point to the contrary, a dragon reassures the reader that there are no actual dragons in the book"--
Description
In this book you are guaranteed not to find any dragons... A clever interactive picture book—sure to keep kids laughing as they look for dragons.
There are no dragons in this book! Wait, is that really true? There was one right here, wasn’t there? Was he hiding in the attic? What do you mean, he’s not alone? Come on, let’s give the book a good shake and see what happens!
Set in a community home with an ensemble of characters–both children and adults–Donna Lambo-Weidner's debut picture book filled with humor (and dragons) encourages close observation and discovery. Carla Haslbauer’s cheeky, scurrying illustrations are chock-full of funny details and metafictional allusions.
Critic Reviews
Children will love the contradictions throughout, as well as the comparisons that give life to the narrator's case. A combination of story and mystery, this book is a grand addition to any children's collection.
-- "School Library Journal"
"My favorite kind of book to read aloud! Sweet and engaging, kids can't help but participate as you hunt for dragons and shake them loose from the book. Perfect for those who love There's A Monster At the End of This Book or The Book with No Pictures."--Maddie M., librarian
