Raising Dragons (1998)
By Jerdine Nolen illustrated by Elise Primavera

Picture
It just goes to show how an innocent Sunday-before-supper walk can lead to just about anything. Who could have known that it would lead to a gigantic glowing egg, a baby dragon, and the best friend a girl could ever wish for.

Raised with love and care, day by day, the dragon grows big, bigger and bigger still until…

Jerdine Nolen has created a raucous adventure about forever love, loyalty, and the joys of the unexpected. And Elise Primavera’s whimsical pastels render a world where dream and reality meet with heart and wild imagination. There’s every chance that after reading Raising Dragons, you’ll want to go searching for a dragon’s egg of your very own. You never know.
