Beware! Here lie dragons-- some fierce, some friendly and one that just can't stop dancing.

This book is a collection of 12 short stories (Folk Tales) involving dragons.

The book contains very nice, colorful illustrations although I would not consider this to be a picture book by definition.

The stories are suited well for children of all ages but due to the scarcity of detailed and descriptive pictures, I would recommend it for children age 6-9.

My particular favorite story in the collection is "The Lace Dragon". It has the familiarity of the story of "Rumplestiltskin" but portrays a woman who is skilled at creating animals made of lace. The tears of the woman held captive by the emperor, magically bring the lace-woven animals to life; the last of which, a dragon, saves her from captivity.

The book portrays dragons as both good characters and bad so there is much versatility. (
