- The Story
- In this tale blending imaginary friends (creatures) with reality,
Alex and Simon have a fierce sibling rivalry going on. One claims to
have a fire-breathing dragon as his new-found best friend and the other
counters with a camel-breath, glasses-wearing camel friend. As the two
imaginary creatures (or are they REAL?) become pals and move out, the two
brother once again find each other's company desirable.
- Comments
- The illustrations depict this dragon as green and smooth-bodied.
The end of its tail is shaped like an arrowhead. Its back is ridged,
its
snout is long with huge nostrils, and its feet are webbed. It does not
have any distinctive Dragon traits except fire-breathing. This
dragon is primarily a boy in a dragon's suit.
