The unlikely hero in this story is young Prince Cedric, who was slow to walk, has a tough time with reading and math, and fails miserably at dragon-slaying school. But with kindness and his love of hugs, Cedric saves the kingdom. This cheerful picture book reminds us there is more than one way to solve a problem and reinforces the idea that everyone has something special to offer. A gentle message about kindness with delightful watercolors and a loveable dragon.

All About Dragons

Dragons aren't real, of course, but scientists once believed they were closely related to snakes! In 1640, a professor of natural science at the University of Bologna, Ulissis Aldrovandi, wrote about "winged dragons flying through Africa."
A female dragon is known as a dragoness. A small or young dragon is called a dragonet.
