Candlelit Dragon Librarian

The dragon leans over a big, bumpy book, claws resting neatly on the pages. Long horns curl like candy stripes, and his wings rise behind him like tall tents. Candle flames wiggle around the table while wax makes lumpy drips. His eyes look busy, as if he is sounding out a tricky word.

Scales stack along his neck and arms like shiny tiles, each one waiting for color. He holds the book open wide, ready for the next line to whisper. The candles throw a soft ring of light that frames his thoughtful face. Bold lines and roomy shapes invite bright crayons to swoop and glide.

Fun Fact!

The word 'dragon' comes from the ancient Greek word 'drakon,' which means 'to watch' or 'serpent'.
