From renowned picture book creators Russell Hoban and Quentin Blake, the story of Ace Dragon LTD. - who isn't so limited after all.

When John notices a manhole cover with the words ACE DRAGON LTD. written across it, he can't help but investigate what lies beneath. And so begins an unusual friendship between a boy and a dragon named Ace, who wears two pairs of Wellington boots and loves skywriting with fire, flying stunts to the moon, and turning gold into straw. With so many talents, John wonders if, unlike his moniker, Ace really isn't so limited after all!

Industry Reviews

Hoban's skill at crafting stories for children is on full display in this tale, which is wonderfully endowed with a childlike acceptance of the fantastic, and Blake's jovial illustrations complement it perfectly. Together they tell a story where impossible things can happen, and you can still be home in time for dinner. --Booklist (starred review) In an echo of Tom's mastery of Capt. Najork, John twice thrashes Ace Dragon, and soon the two of them are soaring. Even with its stratospheric adventures everyone gets home in time for dinner in this lovely, unpredictable story for readers ages 4-9. --The Wall Street Journal
