About This Book Is Not About Dragons

Meet a mouse narrator who stubbornly insists that this book contains absolutely no dragons—not even a claw nor a flame nor any large, pointy scales.

Koehler creates a set of brightly colored dragons set in singed collage scenes… Dragon lovers—and all who enjoy being teased by playful disconnects between text and pictures—will be plenty happy indeed.” — Booklist
