Princess Ingeborg and The Dragons

Author: Wendy Zomparelli. Illustrated by Andrea Strongwater. Princess Ingeborg enjoys many comforts in life – beautiful dresses to wear, dancing lessons, and lots of books to read. But her parents are too busy running the kingdom to spend time with her, and her older brothers are always off questing, so she often feels lonely. Esmeralda, a young dragon out for her first flight, becomes curious about the little human sitting alone in a garden. She decides to approach her, and they become friends. Ingeborg accepts an invitation from Esmeralda’s mother to come visit; she loves playing with the dragon-children, who teach her to hunt crawdads and to swim. But the king and queen jump to frightening conclusions about the dragons’ intentions – and mayhem erupts.
