A wise and friendly dragon sits down to write a special incantation to all children, revealing the magnificent true nature of dragons in the charming children s tale Things We Should All Know About Dragons, by Leonard Ericks. A Dragon s Letter: Dear Children, I admit that dragons can be very scary at times. They roar and laugh out loud, but I ask you to stick around awhile and see what they are really like. They re always hungry, that is true, but their favorite food is flowers, now does that sound scary to you? ... The wise dragon continues to write, explaining to the children of the world how some dragons can fly, sing and play, hoping against hope that they will understand how sweet and friendly dragons truly are. So whenever you see a dragon, don t be afraid, just give a friendly smile and a wave."
