What did you like about the book? Written as a “parenting guide” to new dragon ownership, this book guides the reader through seven steps to help your dragon should they catch a cold. The text is a repetition of Step #, Fact, Tip, and discussion and goes through all seven steps to get your dragon back to good health. Hilarious (and at time gross) illustrations will be a joy to little readers. Bright and colorful, this is a fun, silly book.
