Really cute book about two brothers pretending to save their dog from a dragon until their mom calls them home for dinner. The illustrations are great, and the story is fun and written at a level that's entertaining both for kids and the parent reading to them.
Not a style of illustration that I enjoy but I thought it was a fun adventure story. Super fun to read aloud!
The Dragon Hunters by James Russell is a cute and quick to read rhyming story about two brothers and their dog Coco. A dragon snatched Coco, and Paddy and his brother Flynn have to find him! Follow along with them on their Dragon hunting adventure.

The coolest feature in the book is a map that can be used with the free AR Maps app. It's for Android or iOS users. When you hover over the map, it comes alive with audio! Kids love it and look forward to the next book.

Thanks to Netgalley for show more a copy in exchange for an honest review. show less
Two brothers, Flynn and Paddy, go on a treasure hunt together after finding a map in the attic. They end finding a horde of dragons, but it turned out the dragons were more like dogs, so they basically adopted one without telling their mother.
