Especially "An Ordinary Dragon" (Jennifer Schwabach), "The Elephant and the Dragon" (Sean Melican), "I Dreamed of Griffons in Flight" (Jeff Crook), and "The Dragonkeeper's Wife" (Peter M. Ball). The book would be worth it for these stories alone, but there are many others as well. "A Pet of Her Own" (M.L. Burch) would be a great story to read aloud to a child, even a very young one, and especially to one who's lobbying for a pet. "San Marino and the Dragon" (Kelly Harmon) is one of several light-hearted, positive stories, while others are more grim. They range from at least one story with no characters other than dragons to at least one story in which the dragon is never actually seen. Happy, sad, violent, peaceful -- dragons for everyone!

This book has much of the delight and charm of the Harry Potter stores. Each entry has some relationship to a dragon. Best of the lot is the story by Burch titled "A Pet of Her Own" in which a young girl finds an egg in a mysterious forest, hatches it in believable ways, and discovers she has a dragon. Her effects to cope with raising a dragon on a farm are a delightful mix of realism and fantasy. The resolution is satisfying and represents the girl's growth in generosity and, finally, maturity. Altogether suitable for the pre-teen, early teen reader.
Format:Paperback
I didn't realize until I got this book that what had been missing from my shelves was an anthology of dragon stories, lots of them. All kinds of dragons here - good dragons, ordinary working dragons and dragons you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley. My current favorite is a dragon who protects a village in return for cave and boards. The book is just a lot of fun!
