Review
This picture book has one of the best titles ever, and I finally managed to read it during some down time at my job. With colorful images, and sparse words, the tale counts down (and sometimes up) the remaining dragons in the mountain cave as the horde breaks up and seeks their fortunes in a variety of places doing a variety of jobs, from becoming professional surfers in Hawaii to trying their luck as actors in Hollywood. A nice tale with plenty of fun dragon antics to enjoy.
