If I Had a Dragon

Gabby Dawnay, Alex Barrow

The fiery new title in the best-selling If I Had a . . . series imagines life with a dragon as a pet.

Imagine what it would be like to have a dragon as a pet! Join our funny female protagonist on her latest flight of fancy, but watch out for that burning bad breath!

Dragons are mighty mythical beasts . . . and perfect pets. Getting to school is a breeze when you can fly, and you would never have to worry about lighting the barbecue! But what exactly do dragons eat? Perhaps a trip to the museum will help, just beware of knights in shining armor!

The latest in the fantastical If I Had a . . . series is full of fantasy fun, wrapping up an exciting day of dragon adventures with a warm and cozy nighttime scene, making it the perfect book for bedtime.

For ages 3+

Reviews

Children who enjoy stretching their imaginations to the limit will appreciate this tale, narrated in rollicking rhyme. They'll love discussing and even illustrating the adventures they'd have if they owned a dragon. Set against white backdrops, the colorful, dynamic cartoon images drive the story well. The graceful dragon, while toothy, isn't fearsome. . . . There’ll be no 'dragon' of feet about reading this book: Kids will devour it.
