Considering how much I enjoy all my other dragon books (especially the Dragonology one that was the first of this series) I was not very impressed with this book. Scattered text, illustrations in random places, and no really established reading flow made for a jolting read that I couldn't quite settle in to. ( )

This is a WONDERFUL book and model set. The book gives advice for tracking and training dragons (and while it might not seem particularly practical for those of us living in areas without a lot of dragon activity, the advice also applies to tracking and training other animals). My son and I read this together, and really enjoyed it.

And the build-it-yourself model dragon that comes with the kit is fantastic! It's made of printed heavy cardboard, and is put together easily (using slots), but it turned out SO COOL that I've got it hanging over my desk right now. The wings flap and everything.

I bought this months ago, when it first came out - now I wished I'd opened it up sooner, and we could have been enjoying our lovely dragon all this time! I hope they come out with other similar models in this series, because this one is beautiful. ( )
