In this paperback edition of the hilarious Return of the Underwear Dragon, brave Sir Cole teaches his former sworn enemy to read.

Once Sir Cole has saved the kingdom from the destructive wrath of the Underwear Dragon, he has the startling realization that the Underwear Dragon wasn't disobeying the signs that said not to attack. The Underwear Dragon just couldn't read the signs!

So Sir Cole sets out on a valiant quest. He’s not going to conquer the Underwear Dragon—he’s going to teach him to read. But it's hard to teach a fire-breathing creature to read an actual book because he sets them all on fire. Besides, the Underwear Dragon is a reluctant reader. But when the Underwear Dragon finally succeeds, Sir Cole presents his star pupil with the perfect gift--gigantic alphabet underwear!

The creative team of Scott Rothman and Pete Oswald collaborated on Attack of the Underwear Dragon and the forthcoming Blue Bison Needs a Haircut.

Scott Rothman loves going to the beach but would never actually go in the water as it is entirely too wet. That said, he is also a writer of picture books, humor pieces and screenplays. His debut picture book, Attack of the Underwear Dragon, was a New York Times bestseller.

Praise for Return of the Underwear Dragon

Praise for Return of the Underwear Dragon

Both the fundamental value of literacy and the old principle of getting the right book to the right reader, every librarian’s goal, shine as brightly as ever through the nonsense.”
-Booklist

“Rothman and Oswald’s delightful sequel rightly captures the thrills and vexations afflicting all new readers. Now it’s the Underwear Dragon’s turn in the spotlight and shine he does. The stylized artwork, meanwhile, retains its ability to provoke laughs and sympathy in equal measure.
Hooray for the Underwear Dragon!”
-Kirkus Reviews


Praise for Attack of the Underwear Dragon

The action moves as briskly as a well-oiled cartoon episode, and ends on an appropriately amusing note: in return for his gallantry, Cole wants an assistant of his own.
-Publishers Weekly

“This rollicking read, full of action and hilarious non sequiturs, will leave its audience in stitches, an effect furthered by Oswald’s cartoonish spot art and dramatic double-page spreads. At its heart, this is a fun story of imagination and play, clues to which bookend the medieval derring-do, that speaks to children’s inner hero.
