Description
Storm! Storm! Rain raps the window, wind rattles the door. “Let’s look for storm dragons,” says Grandpa. “Watch out, dragons. We’re coming!”
Off they go, Grandpa and grandchild, down to the beach for a wild and wonderful adventure … They find dragon footprints, dragon jewels, and even a dragon baby, but what will happen when they find the REAL Storm Dragon?
