It was time to feed the dragon a princess. But since no princess was available, the next best thing was to give him a child. All the children wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a hat. Then a name was pulled from the hat: Oscar! Oscar's mom wept bitterly what mother wouldn't? But she should have known Oscar was far too clever to get eaten by an old dragon!

"""It's a neat amalgam of fairy tale elements with a little Top Chef thrown in.""-- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""Packed with wit that never descends into camp and illustrated with verve and style in ink-and-watercolor cartoons, Krause's substantial, self-translated fractured fairy tale delights on every level.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews, starred review"" ""The book's size and style would make it ideal for a story time...""-- ""New York Journal of Books"" ""The illustrations, drawn in a lighthearted cartoon style, have a cinematic quality.""-- ""School Library Journal"""
