Block #8 - Character Quilt - Dragon

#8 - Dragon

Poor Dragon.  He's scared of his own shadow, but he wants a friend. Dragon finds an apple and it becomes his best friend. When he takes it to the doctor, a walrus eats it and leaves nothing but the core. Dragon, brokenhearted, buries the apple, which he assumes is dead, and of course, a tree grows from the seeds and produces new apples to be Dragon's friends.

This Dav Pilkey book digs a little deeper.   The circle of life isn't a topic for every children's book, but it often makes good ones great, and "Friend For Dragon" is no exception.
