Illustrated by
Will Hillenbrand.
When Baby Dragon's mother visits his grandmother, she tells Baby Dragon to wait by a fern until morning. Waiting isn't easy, and when sneaky Crocodile offers to help Baby Dragon find his mother, temptation gets the better of him. Ehrlich crafts a charming tale of patience and pluck, and Hillenbrand's pictures provide just the right depiction of a brave little hero.
