A Believer's Guide to Dragons

Dragons live in caves deep beneath our feet, where the earth is warm, rich and full of treasures, but they have been known to surface . . . From adventures that leave scratches on tree trunks, to parties that cause volcanoes to erupt, or roaring contests that shake the ground, dragons have plenty of ways to let true believers know they''re out there. Find out everything there is to know about dragons in this beautiful, must-have picture book by the award-winning Jenni Desmond.
