Perfect for self-selection, this question-and-answer book covers legendary dragons' appearance and features, habitat, and behavior. Simple infographics draw in browsers and visual learners. A Stay Curious! feature encourages kids to keep asking questions while doubling as a mini media literacy lesson on research skills. Includes glossary and index.
