Dragonbreath
by Ursula Vernon
New York: Puffin Books, 2009

Danny Dragonbreath is a dragon who can't breath any fire. Yet. But right now he has bigger problems. He got an F on his paper about the ocean (that he wrote on the bus that morning). And there's a Komodo dragon who keeps bullying him for his lunch. He can solve the first problem by visiting his cousin the sea serpent. Together with Danny's best friend Wendell (an iguana), they'll explore coral reefs, shipwrecks, and the deepest depths of the ocean. And hopefully make it home in time for dinner.

I have to admit, I've been a huge fan of this author since I discovered her artwork decades ago. I love the books for adults she writes as T. Kingfisher, and I was very excited to see the first (of 11) Dragonbreath book show up in Libby. It's a humorous combination of text and comic panels that is great for older kids who can appreciate mutant potato salad.
