  What is this picture book about? 

Far above the world, Hope the Dragon somersaults through the sky, protecting those below. But he encounters a formidable opponent in Fear, a monstrous creature that haunts little boys and girls everywhere.

Hope tries to devour Fear, but he does not succeed. Defeating Fear will take much more than a breath of fire and a gnash of teeth, so Hope enlists the help of a wise old creature, the Reader.

And it is inside the Reader's vast library that Hope finds what he is looking for, plus much more.
