(Resource Links, October 2007 (Vol. 13, No. 1)) A charming story about a young dragon who catches a cold - his scales turn blue, his fire goes out and he loses his voice. He worries that he will never breathe fire again, but since a cold is a human illness, he must seek help from a human doctor. The doctor is afraid of the dragon and so sends him to a doctor of Chinese medicine. This doctor is also afraid and sends him to an acupuncturist, and so on and so on. Eventually, the dragon finds himself back at the first doctor?s house and through a surprising turn of events, they are able to help each other. This story in the tradition of a Chinese folktale should appeal to younger audiences. Category: Picture Books. Thematic Links: Dragons; Health Professionals; Colds.
