Review
"Elvira is not a happy little dragon. She is not fond of eating princesses, and she hates fighting games. She likes making daisy chains and creating lovely dresses out of flowers and leaves. Naturally, the other dragons pick on her . . . So Elvira leaves in a fury and goes to live among the princesses. . . . Outrageously funny." Horn Book, Starred
