Many different animals come to bestow their own special gifts on the newborn Christ Child. An original song inspired by "The Friendly Beasts."

Said to originate from the library of eminent Victorian dragonologist Ernest Drake, this book imparts to readers the secrets of the ancient science of dragonology. It includes a host of novelties such as old letters, magic dust, dragon scales, gems, spells in envelopes and booklets of riddles.

Ignored and overlooked, the dragons go unnoticed . . . just like George. But one rainy Thursday, lonely George sees his first dragon. Before long, they are everywhere, and the trouble begins. Since he is the only one who can see them, George knows he must lead the dragons back to the great wilderness where they belong-and then somehow find his way home again.

This beautiful story by the creators of The Tin Forest shows the power of the imagination not only to create but also to liberate.
