Bookroo's summary

In a bustling city, a young boy embarks on a whimsical quest to find his missing dragon. As he navigates through busy streets, parks, and iconic landmarks, readers are invited to count objects from one to twenty. Is the dragon hiding on a crosstown bus or playing in the park? With each turn of the page, the cityscape reveals new surprises and challenges. Join the adventure and see if you can spot the dragon before the boy does. This enchanting journey combines counting with a delightful search-and-find mystery.

From the publisher

Enter a fascinating, ornately drawn cityscape and help a boy find his dragon while counting objects from hot dogs to traffic lights.

In the heart of the city, among the taxis and towers, a small boy travels uptown and down, searching for his friend. Readers will certainly spot the glorious beast, plus an array of big-city icons they can count. Is the dragon taking the crosstown bus, or breathing his fiery breath below a busy street? Maybe he took a taxi to the zoo or is playing with the dogs in the park. Steve Light’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations, decorated with meticulous splashes of color, elevate this counting book (numbers 1-20) to new heights. Maybe the dragon is up there, too!

I loved this book, until my child decided they needed to count all the things on all the pages, and then it just took forever and killed all momentum.
