About The Suburban Dragon:

"The Suburban Dragon", a children's book, is an exciting tale of one family discovering how to interact and spend quality time together. The Suburban Dragon is set on a dull, rainy day. After seeing his children stiff with boredom, a father dresses up as a dragon to entertain his family. The children are up for the challenge after the scary dragon captures their mother, and they immediately begin making plans to conquer the dragon. As they work together to rescue their mother, they are able to turn a gloomy day into a stirring adventure. Having grown up with a father who would amuse him and his brothers and sisters with games and performances, author Maccagnone used his own childhood experiences as a premise for the book. Filled with colorful drawings, The Suburban Dragon will have kids enthralled from start to finish. In a society where electronic games and television prevail, this book reminds both young children and adults that families can still have fun together without the aid of modern technology.
