Have you ever dreamed of getting a pet dragon?
If so, then this is the book for you.
You will learn how to choose the right breed of dragon, how to raise and train it, and how to care for it. The book describes in detail the pros and cons of the lifestyle that will descend upon you as soon as a scaly pet appears in your home. It is an excellent basic course in dragon studies for those interested in these mysterious winged creatures. The narrative itself is infused with humor, and the vivid, expressive illustrations only add to this atmosphere.
Of course, dragons are mythical creatures, but if we set the jokes aside, we get a book not about dragons, but about pets in general. Using hyperbole and fantasy as an entertaining element, the authors have created solid pedagogical material that teaches children responsibility for those we have tamed. Fictional examples featuring completely fantastical circumstances illustrate real-life domestic scenarios. The serious is hidden behind the funny and the ridiculous, and the balance between a responsible approach and lighthearted play makes this book a wonderful acquisition for those who already have pets, and—especially!—for those who are just planning to bring a four-legged friend into their home.
