Not Your Typical Dragon

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Tim Bowers. Dragon Crispin turns seven but instead of breathing fire, as expected, he breathes whipped cream...then Band-Aids, marshmallows, and more. The hackneyed plot, of a character who's different from his peers, ends predictably: after a heroic move, everyone understands that Crispin's abnormality makes him "special." Bowers's cartoonish acrylic illustrations feature wide-eyed, friendly looking dragons in an array of colors.
