Synopsis
What if there was but one dragon left in the world?
What if dragons were more than just imaginary creatures? What if long ago they soared through our skies? And what if there was only one dragon left? Where might it hide from our machines, from our technology, from us? And where would it go if it spread its wings for one last flight?
New York Times bestselling writer Robert Burleigh and Harry Potter artist Mary GrandPre answer these questions by taking us on one last great journey into the starry night. Read this book with a child and wait for the inevitable moment when he looks to the sky . . . and wonders.

From Booklist
This slow-to-start picture book details the final flight of Earth’s last remaining dragon, Ultimon. He lives in the city sewers, dreaming of the olden days: “A time when dragons / Ruled the waves / And breathed hot flames / In jewel-filled caves.” Then, spurred on by a star calling out to him, Ultimon flies off into the night sky. In a somewhat confusing ending, Ultimon is beckoned by stars, “Come in, Ultimon / Out of the night!” and he takes his place as part of Draco, the dragon constellation. The whole thing is perhaps a little too ethereally described for the target audience, but there are obviously plenty of kids who will be drawn to the dragon theme. GrandPré’s lush, full-bleed acrylic art depicts a lean, muscular dragon (nothing cute here) that may tempt those who prefer their mythical creatures on the “realistic” side. Best here are the darkly hued spreads that reflect a stunning night sky and the dragon’s emotionally expressive face. An author’s note about the Draco constellation concludes. Grades 1-3. --Ann Kelley
