Praise for the previous edition From the reviews: “These inviting, clearly written biographies are packed with information….these titles offer plenty of facts for report writers.” —School Library Journal, November 2006 “This intriguing guide starts out by asking the important question: Should you own a dragon? Well duh! … Dragon-owning is a timeless art, and How to Raise and Keep a Dragon is a delightful, encyclopedic exploration of all things dragon. … It rivals Dinotopia in imagination, although How to Raise and Keep a Dragon is more of a guidebook than storybook. The durable cover features a standard Western dragon with a ruby ‘jeweled’ eye. Your customers will snap this up for a favorite nephew or other young dragon lover.” —New Age Retailer, 2006 “Younger teen readers ages twelve to fourteen will be enthralled by this book. The illustrations of the various dragon breeds are superb and give off the illusion of reality….If one is looking for a lighthearted, entertaining addition to the collection, look no further.” —VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates), Jonatha Master, October 2006 About The Author: Joseph Nigg is a writer, editor, and an artist who lives and works in Denver, Colorado.
