Have you ever thought about bringing your dragon to the library? Don't do it! You might have the best intentions, but that dragon will cause nothing but trouble. Using rhyming text and a diverse cast of characters, this charming picture book will provide some important—and some not so important—library etiquette in a very entertaining way.

"The vibrantly colored illustrations overflow the pages, use aerial perspectives, and accentuate the size of the dragons. It's a clever approach to proper library do's and don'ts.

"The illustrations are bright, colorful, and action-packed. . . .The book promotes diversity, with two main characters of color. Readers who enjoy “Easter eggs” will get a kick out of clever image background details like the name of the library (Honalee)." - Seattle Book Review

Dragons and patrons are a multihued variety shown in lively illustrations from Andy Elkerton. The scene at the library is happening, even with the disruptive behemoths, and boys and girls will be inspired to check out books and story times..." - Foreword Reviews
