I Wish I Were a Komodo Dragon

24 pp. | ABDO/Magic Wagon | September, 2011 | Library ISBN 978-1-61641-659-1 $28.50
(4) K-3 Looking Glass Library: I Wish I Were... series. Illustrated by Gabhor Utomo. Subdued illustrations show a village-dwelling boy imagining life as a komodo dragon. Although he thinks of lots of up-sides, he realizes he'd miss his friends and his vegetarian diet. The text is in rhyme, which makes the incorporation of facts a stretch. The huge reptile's tongue is erroneously shown as pink rather than yellow. Glos.
