Synopsis
Ignored and overlooked, the dragons go unnoticed . . . just like George. But one rainy Thursday, lonely George sees his first dragon. Before long, they are everywhere, and the trouble begins. Since he is the only one who can see them, George knows he must lead the dragons back to the great wilderness where they belong-and then somehow find his way home again.
This beautiful story by the creators of The Tin Forest shows the power of the imagination not only to create but also to liberate.
Illustrated by Wayne Anderson.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 4-George sees dragons everywhere he looks, but they are "ignored and overlooked," just like he is. He likes the creatures, and feeds them, but soon becomes weary of cleaning up after them. He goes to the library in search of a solution, finds a map, and proceeds to build a machine to help him lead the beasts back to where they belong. The child's parents, who are never pictured, finally notice that he is gone, find him, and celebrate his return with a cake and a new dog- or is it a dog? Anderson uses color in the soft paintings to reinforce the emotions of this little boy who blends into the background of the pictures and his world. He and his dragons appear in muted tones while the details around them are often brightly colored. The creatures are appealing and mischievous but George seems to fade even as he takes action to deal with his problem. The huge flying dragon he builds is dark and sinister, and George flies it into a desolate setting. The illustrations brighten when his parents find him, and become lighter still when he is home and "no longer ignored or overlooked." This book is unsettling and a bit heavy-handed, but children will enjoy the dragons, the humor, and the upbeat twist at the end.
