This is a fun story about two little dragons who ponder the Earth. One happens to come across a Gleason’s Map, which piques her curiosity about what is said versus what is observable about the Earth.
Enjoy reading Chapter One. Each week a new chapter will be released. The dragons have a friendly banter over this quandary. At the very end, they get a brilliant idea that just might lead to their next adventure.
