“The writing is quick and well thought out, and will keep a young reader flipping pages late into the night. The interior artwork that accompanies the writing is fabulous and filled with rich and deep colors. The dragons appear to practically jump off the page.” –Reading Review
“This guide is a well thought out book about dragons that is presented almost like an enlistment guide for a dragon academy, told from they Dungeons and Dragons mythology standpoint. I could easily see this book being handed out to prospective Dragon Riders a generation or two before the story of Eragon was written… It reads like a factual textbook, though far more interesting. One little jewel that a young reader is sure to like is the questionnaire in the back of the book entitled ‘Finding Your Dragon: A Quiz’. Twelve questions are asked and the results are presented on the next page where the child can see which dragon best fits him or her. Finally, each page is loaded with artwork that is sure to interest anyone who loves to look at dragons.” –Monster Librarian
The Practical Guides are, well, practical guides to fantastical things. Like, for instance, you know that Audubon book of birds? Imagine it for dragons. Only, a book about birds doesn’t cover their language, games, and magic.
