Dragons [audio-enabled device] : meet the legendary monsters of mythology / Cait Stevenson ; Cinthya Álvarez.

Stevenson, Caitlin, (author.). Alvarez, Cinthya, (illustrator.). Chin, Katharine, (narrator.). Playaway Products, LLC, (issuing body.).

Summary:

An epic guide to the history and mythology of dragons from around the world for fantasy-mad kids by medieval historian Cait Stevenson, perfect for fans of How to Train Your Dragon. For thousands of years humans have feared or revered dragons, be they winged fire-breathing monsters from Europe or slithering water gods from Asia. In this book, featuring beautiful illustrations courtesy of Cinthya Alvarez, readers will be charmed by ancient myths and learn about the cultures that gave birth to these legendary monsters. Includes the stories of Fafnir, a dragon from Norse mythology whose greed gets the better of him, the female dragon-slayer from the Arabic folktales One Thousand and One Nights, and Apophis, the dragon god of ancient Egyptian myth who stalks the underworld. Readers will also learn about the link between dragons and dinosaurs, meet real-life dragons such as Komodo dragons and bearded dragons, study dragon constellations, encounter the dragons of J. R. R. Tolkien's Middle Earth, and wonder at the popularity of games such as Dungeons & Dragons. It's everything kids who love dragons could ever want to know!
