What happens when a half fox/half fiery dragon is born?

Excellent question! We at Wild Rumpus have also wondered about the possibility of a half fox/half fiery dragon, and so naturally we were extremely excited to hear that Yvonne Lillehaug-Collins had the thoughtfulness to write a book on the subject! Of course we had to have her for a visit. If the question intrigues you (and how could it not), you should come on over on Wednesday, August 4th to meet this ingenious writer.

And now, a little about the book and the woman behind it:

Little Dragon is a fun and exciting story about a half fox and half fiery dragon whose adventures take him through fire and tornado -- from a Midwestern American farm to a Sauk-Fauk Native American village, where Little Dragon assumes a surprising new role.

Discovering the 1930s American heartland, young people will learn from Little Dragon’s lively encounters and amazing experiences. Little Dragon is a great tool to teach valuable lessons about living together in peace and in rhythm with nature, while gaining insights on the essence of hard work, wisdom and love.
