Dragon Dave the Not So Brave -- Alex Latimer, Hardcover

Dave the dragon has been stuck in his book for as long as he can remember.

Dave really doesn't like the ending where the villagers try to turn him into dragon soup! But what if Dave had the power to change how his story ends? What if all he really needs is to stop doing what is expected of a dragon and start doing what he really wants?

In this innovative picture book, Dave the dragon wanders through the pages of Dragon Soup, rewriting the story with hilarious results. Dragon Dave teaches children to be brave, question and embrace change.
