Author: Timothy Knapman
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA Childrens
ISBN: 9781599901909
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en

Book Description
Here's a wonderful twist on the familiar theme of "boy meets dragon." This time, it's not the boy who finds a dragon-it's the dragon who's found the boy. "It's called a Benjamin," the dragon drolly explains to his family. The Benjamin is a true novelty (no wings, no tail, no fire-breath!), and all of the dragons gather round to examine the strange creature, right down to his plastic boots and leaking eyes. Chock full of clever situations and charmingly illustrated, this unique picture book-one part fantasy, one part fairy tale, and one part tear jerker-is sure to entertain children on many levels.
