    A charming story about the joys of reading that is perfect for fans of Dog Loves Books and Stellaluna.

    Duncan the Dragon loves to read. When he reads a story, his imagination catches fire! Unfortunately . . . so does his book.
     
    Fire breath is great for roasting marshmallows, but it’s not so great for reading. Duncan just wants to get to those two wonderful words, like the last sip of a chocolate milk shake: The End. Will he ever find out how the story ends?
     
    This bright, warm tale champions determination, friendship, and a love for books. And milk shakes!
