Everybody knows your typical dragon breathes fire. But when Crispin tries to breathe fire on his seventh birthday, in Not Your Typical Dragon, fire doesn't come out – only whipped cream! Each time Crispin tries to breathe fire, he ends up with something different. Crispin wonders if he’ll ever find his inner fire. But when a family emergency breaks out, it takes a little dragon with not-so-typical abilities to save the day.
Who Was Dr. Seuss?
Who Was Dr. Seuss


Ted Geisel loved to doodle from the time he was a kid. He had an offbeat, fun-loving personality. He often threw dinner parties where guests wore outrageous hats! And he donned quirky hats himself when thinking up ideas for books, like his classic The Cat in the Hat. Who Was Dr. Seuss? brings an amazingly gifted author/illustrator to life.
