It's not easy for Danny Dragonbreath to be the sole mythical creature in a school for reptiles and amphibians?especially because he can't breathe fire like other dragons (as the school bully loves to remind him). But having a unique family comes in handy sometimes, like when his sea-serpent cousin takes Danny and his best iguana friend on a mindboggling underwater tour, complete with vomiting sea cucumbers and giant squid. It sure beats reading the encyclopedia to research his ocean report . . . Using a hybrid of comic-book panels and text, Ursula Vernon introduces an irresistible set of characters with a penchant for getting themselves into sticky situations. It's perfect for both the classroom and fans of Wimpy Kid and Bad Kitty.

Part of my project to familiarize myself with J FIC. This is one where I can see the appeal but don’t necessarily feel the need to read any more of the books.
This is a cute little illustrated story about an adolescent dragon having issues with his homework assignment (among other things), which leads to an adventure with cousin Edward the Sea Serpent. The potato salad has a character of its own and is my favourite part of the whole book.
A friend from college pointed me to this hilarious and cute book. If the book has a dragon in it, he's probably read it. Did I like it? ...I'm counting down the days until I can go back to the library and get more! Danny Dragonbreath is a young dragon who is a mythical creature caught in a reali...
Worth it for the illustrations alone, which are completely adorable (but if you know Vernon, that comes as no surprise). The text is occasionally a little info-dumpy for an adult reader--very "here is a list of cool facts about the ocean, kids! isn't science neat?"--but since the intended audience i...
