Overview

What do you get when you take a group of VERY talented child-artists...tell them a faerie tale about a blueberry-loving dragon named Barry, and then ask them to create Barry's world on paper?
You get the latest book from noted children's author Dr. Bill Dispoto entitled "Blue Barry, the Dragon of Hammontown", volume 2 in his "Stories About Growing Up" series and the first book of its kind to be COMPLETELY ILLUSTRATED BY CHILDREN...!
It's a heartwarming story of a kind, gentle, and friendly dragon named Barry, who lives high atop a towering pine tree in the great Land 'o Pines forest which borders the quiet farming village of Hammontown in the Kingdom of New Chersea. Together with his smaller-and-much-naughtier dragon friend Neville, all Barry wants to do is live in peace in the great forest and enjoy his favorite food...the sweet delicious blueberries that grow on the farms in the village of Hammontown. However, the villagers and farmers can't see Barry's true character...they don't see the kind and gentle soul that Barry is...all they see is a DRAGON...and the DRAGON HAS GOT TO GO...!
So one day, after an unfortunate case of mistaken identity and the theft of a large amount of fresh-picked blueberries, the farmers decide to rid the kingdom of Barry once and for all. They venture into the forest, find Barry's tree home, and set it on fire...! Well, as is the case so often in life, "evil begets evil"...the fire spreads through the great forest, then to the neighboring blueberry farms, and even threatens the village beyond...!
Will the ignorance of the villagers lead to the destruction of everything they hold dear...or will Barry finally reveal his true character and save the village? Read the book and find out...!
