How to Dragon

About this book

Meet Douglas, the dragon who's a bit different from the rest. While other dragons are busy battling knights and striking fear into princesses' hearts, Douglas has a rather unusual hobby - he loves picking flowers and baking treats! Once a clever and patient knight agrees to help Douglas, the dragon trains to become the scariest creature in the land. But along the way, Douglas learns that mean and frightening are hardly the only things that a dragon can be-and that true friendships can be forged anywhere, at any time.? How to Dragon is a fun, lighthearted picture book with a lead character to whom most young readers can relate, since he just wants to be accepted by his peers and takes steps to gain that acceptance. The book focuses on: Feeling Different: Watch Douglas cope with feeling like an outsider and facing ridicule within his own community and how he tries to address the situation. Compassion and Friendship: See an unlikely bond form between Douglas and two humans, a knight and a princess, both of whom offer to help him despite their differences. Cooperation: Follow Douglas as he works with his new human friends to learn how to improve himself. Humor: Smile, chuckle, and laugh as Douglas's story unfolds with amusing moments accompanied by colorful, charming illustrations.
