I explore the symbolic meaning of the creature in different cultures and in literature and then I focus on the presentation of the dragon in the story. The role of the mythological creature is very unconventional and it affects major themes of the story.
I also explore the allegorical aspect of the story and compare the principles of dragon training to the principles of real-life pet training. This comparison helps to gain deeper understanding of the character development of the protagonist. 
The story has a lot to offer from the pedagogical point of view, since the audience is very young.</dc:description><dc:publisher>[M.
