When an unknown creature is found crying in the woods by Delores and her mother, they decide to help it. The creature has no idea where he is or what he is. Delores and her mother search for other creatures like him. A run in with a lion sends them running back to where they first found the unknown creature they now call Derek. When Derek sneezes and flames shoot out of his nose Derek learns who and what he is. A book about kindness. I enjoyed this because you see no pictures of the creature until the very end. This gives children the opportunity to look at the different clues and try to figure out what the creature is. ( )
