First, Dr. Ernest Drake's DRAGONOLOGY was discovered and published to great acclaim. And now a student's course in Dragonology, written by Dr. Drake himself, has come to light. In this illustrated textbook, Dr. Drake guides you through 21 lessons that promise to make you and undisputed expert in Dragonology! The illustraations are lifelike and there's even fingerprints and drink stains to make it look real and used.It has riddles, legends, how to learn dragon script, dragon biology,dragon magick,dragon keepers guide, how to draw dragons,and a whole bunch of cool things like that. It also has a library card, Dr. Drakes report card, and a handy little map that you can use to fill in details about the main species of dragons you come across in your studies.
I bought this book for my daughter, who is an avid Harry Potter fan and who loves the whole fantasy genre, in general. This book poses as a textbook for a Dragonology class. It has lessons and even homework! It comes with stickers and has various places for the "student" to write notes about the lesson or to decipher different scripts (codes). At the end, there is a certificate of achievement for when the "student" completes the course. This is a fun book for older kids who like fantasy and dragons in particular. My daughter especially liked the Dragonscript and had fun writing secret notes with her friends. This one is the companion book to the larger Dragonology book; both books are quite detailed and offer more to do than just READ a book about dragons!
I purchased this book for my 8 year old son after he borrowed one from a friend and fell in love with it. The book is really quite beautiful with exciting and detailed illustrations and lots of information for anyone interested in Dragonology. It opens with an oath to protect Dragons and is presented in three different levels, Elementary, Intermediate and Advanced. Something to challenge all ages upward of aprox 8 yrs in my opinion. You learn about different types of Dragons, how to identify them and my sons favorite was the Dragon Script. I would recommend this book, as a parent I enjoyed watching my child's imagination fueled by his excitement for the Dragons. This is the companion to the #1 New York Times Best Seller.
Kids love this book! My son reads it everyday! He loves to think about dragons and the possibility of them being here long ago. I love all of the detail that the book goes into. The only thing I wish were different are the little "envelopes" that are in the book...my kids have a hard time with them...keeping them closed and things kept in them. Otherwise the book is excellent! My son has everything Dragonology and will continue to get things as they come out! Great way to get kids to read!
My seven year old son's friend had one of these books and wanted one for himself. I was lucky enough to win won on eBay for him. He loves it! I haven't read it all myself, but he read it within two days. The feel of the book is as if it was from the 1800's with parchment looking pages and superb hand drawn illustrations. It is as if it is a textbook on dragons and makes you wonder if they really exist. It covers dragons from all over the world and even their migration patterns. From what I have read, it is very well done and an enjoyable read, I highly recommend!
