About the author

Matt Doeden was born in southern Minnesota and lived parts of his childhood in Golden Valley, Minnesota, and Madison, Minnesota. He studied journalism at Mankato State University, where he worked at the college newspaper for three years. In his senior year, he served as the paper's Sports Editor, which put him in charge of the entire sports section, the sports writers, and the photographers. He covered mostly college sports, but also the Minnesota Vikings, who held training camp at MSU.

His work allowed him to meet and interview people like Dennis Green, Cris Carter, Robert Smith, and more. Matt went on to work as a sports writer for the Mankato paper, and then he got a job as an editor with a small children's publisher called Capstone Press, and in 2003 he decided to start his own business as a freelance writer and editor.

Since then, Matt has written and edited hundreds of books. Lots of them are on high-interest topics like cars, sports, and airplanes. He also writes and edits on geography, science, and even math.

Reviews

Interesting book, great illustrations. However, there seemed to be only one mention of the fact that dragons are “mythical” (a word which I wonder if most children will understand) and the rest of the detailed information about dragons (lifestyle, different types, etc.) seemed to come across as fact rather than fiction. I wonder if the book’s intended audience may be confused by this?

I didn't want to read this at bedtime to my 5 year old since the first page shows a dragon attacking a village, but we read it during the day and he loved it. It gave my little guy lots of great dragon facts, with wonderful pictures. We can't wait to read the others in the series.

Great illustrations.

Nice introduction to dragons for very young children and students who are curious. Part of the Mythical Creatures series from Picture Window Books.
