If you have someone on your Christmas list with a love of all things fantastic and mythical, the best-selling Ology books from Candlewick Press are probably already on a wish list. And this holiday season, the first book in the series, Dragonology, is being released in a very special 10-year anniversary edition. Here’s a synopsis of this hugely popular book:
Do you believe in dragons? Now, for the first time, the long-lost research of renowned nineteenth century dragonologist Dr. Ernest Drake is presented in all its eccentric glory, happily bridging the gap between dragon legend and fact. The meticulous Dr. Drake assigns Latin names to various dragon species, ruminates on why dragons are able to speak, speculates on how they could fly, and explains the true purpose of their notorious hoarding habits.
In his afterword, Dr. Drake reveals that one of the crucial goals of dragonologists is to preserve the magnificent creatures of their study wherever possible – a goal this tongue-in-cheek volume most affectionately achieves. An incomparable gift for secret dragonologists everywhere!
This gorgeous book features an updated cover and a new logo. The book is absolutely beautiful and sure to be a hit with your favourite fantasy fan…as long as he or she believes in dragons, of course! To help you give the perfect gift to an imaginative loved one, Candlewick Press is very generously offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader their very own 10th anniversary edition of Dragonology! To enter to win, just leave a blog comment about your favourite mythical creature.
The wonderful thing about this book is that it is equally appropriate for children and adults thanks to the full-colour pictures, whimsical scrapbook-style mementos and fun dragon facts. Pick up a copy of this collectible treasure for yourself or someone you know that just can’t help wanting to know more about dragons!

My favorite mythical creature has always been the unicorn. When I was younger, I amassed a large unicorn collection which I still have. I think they are so amazing and wish they were real. Thank you for the super giveaway opportunity. Keep up the terrific blogging.
