Guess What I Found in Dragon Wood

32 pp. | Bloomsbury | January, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-59990-190-9 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Gwen Millward. This version of a child-finds-a-stray story is narrated by a dragon who comes across a boy ("It's called a Benjamin"). After taking him to his lair, the dragon realizes Benjamin is homesick and helps this strange creature get back to his parents. Watercolor and pencil illustrations are packed with details silly (a volcano named Smoky) and poignant (Benjamin's tiny single tear).
