The Dentist And The Fire Breathing Dragon

Would you leap into the mouth of a fire-breathing dragon? What if this dragon ate too much candy and needed to be rescued from a terrible toothache? Dr. Toofus Sweets, "The Magical Animal Dentist", has worked on kangaroos, octopuses, and even a goose! But, can he work this "tooth-healing magic" one more time to save his new flying friend?

Jonathan and his friend, a dragon, learn about life and the strength of character they need to overcome countless obstacles. Allow a fire-breathing dragon to stir your child's imagination.

A dinosaur book like no other, this irreverent chronicle of science and pseudoscience takes the reader on a journey through numerous bizarre ideas about ancient reptiles. Were dragon legends inspired by human encounters with fire-breathing dinosaurs? Do the Bible and other ancient works of literature and art depict dinosaurs? Astoundingly, those and other strange notions have infiltrated grade-school science textbooks. This exposé unmasks the errors that underlie such notions and reveals the science that flattens them, while treating readers to explanations of rocket fuel, nuclear power plants, the electric eel’s shocking capabilities, and how the young-Earth creationist position contradicts the very scripture that it strives to uphold. Finding humor in absurdity, the book shows fans of science, religious studies, folklore, and fire that young-Earth creationist dinosaur pseudoscience is deeply comic once one gets to know it properly.
