About this title

From the Inside Flap:

A baby dragon?s search for his identity.

Is he a fish? Is he a bird? Is he a crocodile? One morning an egg drops from the sky and lands at the bottom of a deep, deep ocean. At first the small creature that emerges decides he is a fish for he has scales and fins. But he soon grows too large for his sea-shell home and sets off to discover who he really is. After disappointing encounters with birds, snakes and crocodiles he finally meets someone who holds the key to his identity. A small boy with a book of fairy tales finally and magically solves the mystery.
