The fantastic journey begins with a look at real animals that have a lot in common with dragonsand#151;including the 140-million-year-old tuatara, the frilled lizard, and a host of dinosaurs. Then, children are welcomed into a dragonand#8217;s home; introduced to the wonderful variety of dragons that once existed (and some that still do); given the latest in dragon research; and beguiled with dragon lore from around the world. All the secrets of dragon flight are revealed, and bountiful color illustrations capture everything from dragon footprints to a baby hatching from an egg.
Synopsis
These amazing puzzles--hundreds of them--will keep children involved for hours! Each one offers plenty of optical fun, plus an engaging mental challenge. Some of the pictorial conundrums involve figuring out relative size (the length of an astronaut and his shadow, for example). Others present impossible structures, including a very strange house and a unique sculpture. Or young solvers can try to pinpoint the differences between two very similar images; stare at a wavy pattern to see if it will eventually make them seasick; or watch a leprechaun turn into a sumo wrestler in front of their very eyes. With so much variety, they'll never be bored!
