Dragonbreath by Ursula Vernon 148 pp.
Danny Dragonbreath is a young dragon who has not quite learned to breathe fire. He is also the only mythical creature in his school for reptiles & amphibians where he is tormented daily by Big Eddy, a Komodo Dragon bully who steals Danny's lunch. While doing 'ocean research' with his friend, Wendell, an iguana, and his cousin, Edward the Sea Serpent, Danny shows his bravery when it counts.
I read this because I love the author's quirky artwork and her sense of humor: Predatory Potato Salad that lives in the sewers, "breath mints" that let you breathe under water (now in wintergreen!), dragons breathing fire to cook bacon....
