George is a sheep herder who lives with his mother. His father is a brave knight and had been missing for some time since his last quest. One day while herding his flock of sheep, a very peculiar looking egg had fallen from the woods and landed near George. George liked the perfect oval shape of the egg and took it home.
The next day, George woke up to find his perfect egg had a crack in it. In anger, he was about to flung it to the wall when it twitched in his hands. George gently put the egg back onto the floor and it slowly cracked open to reveal BABY DRAGON. The green baby dragon is later revealed to be a Wood Dragon: a species of dragon famed for their knowledge, wisdom and their friendliness towards humans. In a very interesting twist of event, George and the baby dragon whom he named White Coat(read the book to know how it came to be) embark on a journey to find their parents(George wants to look for his missing father and White Coat, his parents).
This book was not only a storybook but a rather informative one about the types of dragons. For example, Knuckers are dragons with stumpy wings and fireless breath that lives in the filth of caves, Marsupial Dragons are terrible hunters that shows no mercy to their prey, The Frost Dragons are beautiful dragons that lives in ice cold mountain tops. They're not very fond of the uncouth Knucker dragons. Wyverns are the most feared and deadly dragons because they're the strongest, biggest, most ruthless killers despite having only two feet and the Sea Serpents are dragons who lives in the sea. She doesn't breath fire, doesn't have wings or legs but rather a body like the snake and head of a dragon. She has a foul fishy breath that sends any brave knights to their demise.
Here are some of the other things that can be found in the bookset.
Map of this fabled world.
The actual story book contains about 50 pages.
A page in the story book. Can you guess which dragon is in the picture?
'Treasures' inside this book. XD
Dragon's Skin.
George's bejeweled dagger that belonged to his grandfather.
Yes, this toy dagger can be unsheathed. HOW AWESOME IS THAT???
The Emerald Ring that belonged to George's grandfather. Sorry for the terrible picture quality, I don't own my own camera so I had to use my handphone...=(
I wore the ring on my own finger so you could see how pretty it actually is. It's so...GREEN! <3
A dragon's claw.
A dragon's tooth. You're supposed to pretend the tip of the tooth is poisoned. It's belongs to only a specific type of species, can you guess which one based on the short descriptive I have written in the above paragraph?
This is supposed to be White Coat. You're supposed to use this when he learns how to fly. (it's in the book).
Dragon's are very fond of jewels. =)
Overall, I give this book a full ten on a 1 to 10 scale. It's delightful, informative and leaves the reader to their imagination with such cute toys!
A little note though: all dragons are FEMALES. They reproduce on their own by laying an egg every 10 years. However, this story book implies that there are male-female variety in dragon species. Well, it's for the children so I guess they need that fabricated stereotype.
