Henry Penwhistle is an imaginative artist.  However, he’s getting in trouble at school where his creativity is not appreciated.  The trouble really begins when his chalk dragon comes to life and wreaks havoc on La Muncha Elementary School.  Henry, with the help of his friend Oscar must try to stop the dragon.  Is he brave enough for the job?

This book focuses on creativity and imagination and showcases the power of art.  Readers are taken on a crazy adventure as Henry tries to capture the dragon. This story is accompanied by the occasional illustration and would make a great class read-aloud for older elementary students.
