Komodo! by Peter Sis
There are real dragons on the island of Komodo in Indonesia, and popular artist Sis takes young dragon fans on a journey to see them. But as one can expect from the author of Beach Ball and An Ocean World, there is more to see than appears at first glance. A perfect mixture of fact and fantasy. Full color.
