There Are No Dragons in This Book - by Donna Lambo-Weidner (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Even though clues point to the contrary, a dragon reassures the reader that there are no actual dragons in the book"--

Book Synopsis

In this book you are guaranteed not to find any dragons. . . .

A clever interactive picture book--sure to keep kids laughing as they look for dragons.

There are no dragons in this book! Wait, is that really true? There was one right here, wasn't there? Was he hiding in the attic? What do you mean, he's not alone? Come on, let's give the book a good shake and see what happens!

Set in a community home with an ensemble of characters-both children and adults-Donna Lambo-Weidner's debut picture book filled with humor (and dragons) encourages close observation and discovery. Carla Haslbauer's cheeky, scurrying illustrations are chock-full of funny details and metafictional allusions.
