Raising Dragons

by Jerdine Nolen

Book Description

A pig-tailed, snub-nosed girl tells how an egg she finds on a "Sunday-before-supper walk" helps her discover her true calling, raising dragons. Out of the egg comes a hatchling that she names Hank, and until crowds and undue attention force him to leave, he and the girl share everything from bedtime stories to nighttime flights under the stars. Although the narrator boohoos a heap when forced to say good-bye to Hank, she leaves him in his tropical homeland with the hope of seeing him again, and with a wheelbarrow full of dragon eggs to care for.
