Rascal The Dragon is a delightful children's audiobook on compact disc. It's the story of a young boy who wishes he could have a dragon for a pet--to him, dragons are just like dogs, except they have dragonish features such as multiple heads or being able to fly. A treat for early readers, Rascal The Dragon contains three versions on its audio CD: an entertainment version with original music score, a readalong version with page turner prompts, and a version with narrator Rebecca Macauley's voice only. Tracks are sectioned every three minutes for easy bookmarking, in this delight to share with young people, by itself or along with the book form of the story. 1 CD, approx. 20 minutes.
