This short book is stuffed with interesting information about
the history/mythology of dragons. It features many different cultures,
countries and time periods. Then it delves into other mythological creatures
like griffins, unicorns and even yeti. It provides explanations for why people
in the past may have chosen to believe in such creatures. There are lots
drawings and a few photographs.
This was both an interesting and fun read that any student would
enjoy. However, I have added a few of these fact trackers to my library and
they just lack the visual appeal of other books on similar subject. Why choose
a tiny dragon book like this when I have five oversize ones full of color
illustrations? This would make a fun gift for a younger reader.
