Eighteen deftly fashioned verses in the trademark Prelutsky style,
with catchy rhythms, clever rhymes, and witty wordplay and conceits
("If you don't believe in dragons,/It is curiously true/That the
dragons you disparage/Choose to not believe in you"). For each, Sis
provides a large, gloriously imaginative spread featuring
innovative variations on traditional dragons, in wonderfully
fantastical or entertainingly ordinary settings ("I have a secret
dragon/Who is living in the tub..."). A must for dragon fanciers
and for all those who enjoy light verse. (Kirkus Reviews)
An "excellent collection....Prelutsky and Sis...bring to life so many sorts of dragons: the large, the small, the ferocious, the technological, the gentle, the ominous, and the disconsolate. There's a `just right' quality to the verse that makes it a pleasure to read the words aloud. Their sounds fit together with seamless craftsmanship and their sense rewards listeners with humor, imagination, and occasional poignancy....Because it appeals on so many levels, this is one poetry book that won't siton the shelf for long."--Booklist.
