Recipe for Adventure: Take one small Texas town add one grandmother, three neighborhood children, one teenage granddaughter, a freshly baked batch of cookies, and one large dragon. Stir lightly and let the adventure begin. D.D. McDee has captured the heart of the windy Texas plains that birthed the wit and wisdom of this wonderful new book for young readers (and young-at-heart readers as well!). My Grandmother's Dragon is all about learning interesting new words and exploring rural Texas attitudes. May you never look at large sculptures the same again.
