NOTES FROM THE PUBLISHER

Herb the Vegetarian Dragon Overview

The dragons in the forest of Nogard like nothing better than raiding Castle Dark and carrying off princesses to eat. All the dragons, that is, except one. 

Herb is at his happiest tending his vegetable patch. Herb is a vegetarian. 

So it is unfortunate that he is the one captured by the castle’s knights in armor. Treacherous Meathook and his dragon cronies will only help Herb if he agrees to eat meat. But will he give in to their blackmail? 

Jules Bass’s lighthearted story combines with Debbie Harter’s jaunty illustrations to make Herb the Vegetarian Dragon a hilarious picture book. Best of all, it offers young readers plenty of food for thought.
