A Dignity of Dragons by Jacqueline K Ogburn - OPTIONAL


Ogburn, K Jacqueline A Dignity of Dragons illustrated by Nicoletta Ceccoli 32 pgs. Houghton Mifflin Books for Children 2010. PICTURE BOOK. $17

You know that geese come in gaggles and fish come in schools, but did you know that you could also see a tsunami of sea monsters, or a tangle of gorgons? This book is filled with all sorts of magical creatures like sirens, chimeras, and even werewolves.

Without having a plot, this book is still able to hold your attention because of the unusual creatures listed and the interesting pictures. There is also a glossary in the back that gives a definition for each creature listed in the book.

EL - OPTIONAL. Anna Mattheus, Elementary Teacher.
