Bookroo's summary

A dragon's mischief knows no bounds, from scribbling in books to stealing candy. The kingdom is desperate to stop him, but only a little boy with a good book might have the power to tame this terrible beast. Can an unexpected hero calm the dragon's tantrums and restore peace?

From the publisher

When a dragon has a temper tantrum, no one can tame him, except for a little boy with a good book.
