Taking place in New York City, a young boy searches for his lost dragon. On each page of pen-and-ink illustrations, the boy searches on, while also counting various objects, like buses, taxis, ships in the harbor, and hot dogs. Quite helpfully, the objects to be counted (numbers 1-20) are the only splashes of color on each page. And with so many details on each page, there is always more to discover with each reading. See if your child can find the author and illustrator himself in one of the pictures, or if they can find the escaped monkey later on in the book!
