Flight of the Last Dragon

32 pp. | Philomel | October, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-399-25200-6 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Mary GrandPré. Ultimon, the last dragon, lives a sad, lonely subterranean existence, dreaming of "a time when dragons / ruled the waves / And breathed hot flames / In jewel-filled caves." Dragon fanatics might be captivated by Burleigh's overwrought rhyming text and the premise that Ultimon's final glorious flight ends with his transformation into the constellation Draco. GrandPré's dramatic paintings imbue this odd fantasy with drama.
