The Dragon Machine by Helen Ward (2007) provides a perfect introduction to the legendary world of dragons. As the book begins, a clever mix of text and illustrations describe how George, a young, overlooked boy, becomes aware of dragons hiding all around him. -- Melanie Hendy * English 4-11 magazine *
