In the heart of the city, among the taxis and towers, a small boy travels uptown and down, searching for his friend. Readers will certainly spot the glorious beast, plus an array of big-city icons they can count. Is the dragon taking the crosstown bus, or breathing his fiery breath below a busy street? Maybe he took a taxi to the zoo or is playing with the dogs in the park.
Steve Light’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations, decorated with meticulous splashes of color, elevate this counting book (numbers 1–20) to new heights.
The Open Door Bookstore is sponsoring a summer event involving 20 businesses centered around Have You Seen My Dragon? The bookstore will host a month-long scavenger hunt to find their dragon in 20 participating local businesses in July, culminating in prizes and a party on July 30 at the bookstore with author-illustrator Steven Light.
