Our Review

This cleverly deceptive guide presents a wealth of fabricated dragon biology and history, from the intricate anatomy of their fiery digestive systems to the supposed history of their friendship with humans. Every page is packed with absurdly detailed "facts" and whimsical rumors, all delivered with a completely straight face despite the outlandish illustrations. The book's charm lies in its commitment to the bit, creating a fully realized, albeit entirely fictional, zoological study.

Kucharska’s playful approach is a masterclass in imaginative storytelling, inviting readers to willingly suspend disbelief and dive headfirst into a world of pure, unadulterated silliness. Young readers with a taste for fantasy and a well-developed sense of humor will be utterly delighted by this inventive parody of a non-fiction encyclopedia. It’s the kind of book that doesn't just tell a story, but builds a complete and hilarious mythology from the ground up.
