In a collection clearly aimed at kids, it has a few things going for it, some nifty dragon illustrations - particularly one with a young dragon doing a superhero wagon lift, which is pretty funny.

Brown colored paper and a nifty little paperback sized hardback is ok, too, as far as that goes.

Pretty much it seems I am a sucker for a boy and his telepathic smartarse lizard story, it seems.

Talk with the animals. Can't walk with them though, gotta fly or teleport, pretty much.

What do you do when someone tries to run you down? Deck their brother, get them to buy you new shoes, and kiss them a lot.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345456351, Hardcover)

For more than thirty years, Pern has conjured visions of brave men and women mounted upon the backs of dragons. As anyone knows who has been touched by the storytelling magic of Anne McCaffrey, to read of the exotic world of Pern is to inhabit it—and to experience its extraordinary dragons is to soar aloft with them and share their dazzling adventures.

Now, A Gift of Dragons brings together three beloved stories and a thrilling new tale of Pern in a single volume illustrated with beautiful artwork by Tom Kidd. In “The Smallest Dragonboy,” Keevan is the youngest dragonrider candidate, determined to impress a dragon when the next clutch of eggs hatches. But what transpires will surprise everyone—Keevan most of all. In “The Girl Who Heard Dragons,” a young girl’s rare ability to communicate with dragons puts her family in danger and will bring her face to face with her greatest fears—and with her most secret desire. The “Runner of Pern” is a girl named Tenna, who follows family tradition by delivering messages—and who will find her destiny on the mossy traces that runners have used for centuries under the dragon-filled sky. And finally, a very special gift: an exciting new Pern adventure, published here for the first time, fresh from the imagination of Anne McCaffrey.
