This book is really cute. It’s underlying message in the story is to celebrate the differences within one another, not conform them to your beliefs. Herb is a vegetarian dragon and does not like to feast on Princesses, that makes him very unpopular in the dragon world. But does his example prevail? You’ll have to read it to find out. ~Chaunci
