SERIES REVIEW: Series nonfiction titles explore various aspects of dragons, which are always popular in stories and movies. This six-title series covers various topics, of which this reviewer read three: legends and folklore from around the world, the science of how dragons could do seemingly magical things like breathe fire and fly, and slightly more mundane topics like real-life animals who have dragon-like characteristics. Each title combines sections of text with photographs or illustrations (many credited to Getty Images or Shutterstock) to show scenes with either dragons or animals with dragon-like features. An informative way to begin looking at dragons, without too many details about any one specific dragon, legend, movie, or book.
