And now, the bestselling series features its first fantastic creatures…and a children's favorite. </b><br> <br>Continuing the success of this humongous, eye-popping series, <i>Life-Size Dragons</i> ventures into the realm of the imagination.

How clever are they, really? Do any still live in the modern world?
