The Dragon Pack Snack Attack

Joel E. Tanis. Four Winds, $14.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-02-788840-9

Energetic, almost manic watercolors don't redeem an essentially inane and prolix tale, a first effort from Tanis and Grooters. A pack of winged dragons meanders from age to age, finally reaching the present. At this point the dragons, struck by ``the munchies,'' develop an almost insatiable appetite for the fare from a fast-food joint known as Burger Hut. The authors ramble on through a belabored Conflict (how will the dragons pay their tab after they run out of gold pieces?) and Resolution (they take jobs at Burger Hut, frying the food with their own fiery breath). Junk food. Ages 4-7. Children's BOMC selection. (Sept.)
