dragons as the story unfolds. Each double-page illustration invites the young reader to look carefully, to discover the dragons hiding within the pictures. [Check out grandfather’s house to discover how many dragons are hiding in the pages of this book. Then see if you can find all of them.]

The clever story keeps the young reader involved; dragon-counting is sure to be part of the appeal!

Highly recommended.
