And life is good among the crocodiles on the banks of the Zimbu River -- until Jooka sneezes fire and wings pop out from under his shirt. What's he to do? He has frightened the crocodiles away. He sets out on a journey and meets Theo, the wise pelican, who recognizes him for what he is -- a dragon!
