Sasana, a baby dragon is only 70 years old. She grew up in a cave high up in the mountains, where she lives there with her Grandma Ssssssana, who is over 2,000 years old.There are only a very few dragons left in the world, and little Sasana is the only dragon baby born in the last 700 years. She is very special, precious, pampered, protected and spoiled by all the dragons who come to visit and admire her.But she has never been allowed out of the cave into the wide world, because the world is full of the most dangerous creatures called people, who must never find out that dragons still exist.When baby Sasana recently turned 70 and learned to fly, she decided that she was grown up enough to go out and see the wonders of the world for herself. Grandma says that Sasana is still too young for that, so she has to go on her adventures secretly, only when Grandma is sleeping.Flumix the bat is her helper, who covers up for her, so that Grandma won’t ever find out.Little Sasana has heard a lot of stories about the creatures of the world from her Grandma and the other dragons, but she will get many surprises when she starts meeting them.Join Sasana on her adventures, and see how big and exciting the world really is. This is Book #1 of the  Adventures of a Baby Dragon, a great series of kids dragon books.It is best to start with Book # 1 "Sasana Leaves The Cave", but any of the stories in the Adventures of a Baby Dragon series can be enjoyed on their own merit.

PreSchool-Grade 1?Structured like 'This Is the House that Jack Built,' this environmental rhyme aims to show the interdependence of living things in the ancient forests. The pace of the poem gets bogged down a bit when readers encounter verses such as 'These are the voles and mice that tunnel,/And eat the tiny, underground truffles/That grow on roots that draw food from the soil,/To nourish the three-hundred-year-old tree/That grows in the ancient forest.' The theme, as well, is a bit belabored?pine cones falling and startling a marten are part of the process. Acrylic paintings dominate the pages; they are mostly dark and somber and may seem slightly menacing. An introduction, in small dense print, outlines the meaning of interdependence, and a final section elaborates on the cast of characters. Not a vital purchase.?Eva Elisabeth Von Ancken, Trinity Pawling School, NYCopyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
