DRAGONOLOGY: THE COMPLETE BOOK of DRAGONS (OLOGIES)
The book of Dragonology is an excellent introduction to Dragons and a great companion to the game by the same title. Is it a "Complete" book of dragons? The answer would have to be NO! But it is nicely done and children of all ages will enjoy reading the book. The author attempts to making a compelling case for the existence of dragons. A compassionate plea is also put forth to protect this "endangered" species. I enjoyed the book as I am sure that my grandsons will enjoy it as much as I did, or evenmore.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Fun book about dragons
Great little book on dragons with lots of little features and additions that make it a great discovery piece. Great illustration and "facts" about dragons that make it feel like a fun tome.
