Freddie: A Cross-Dressing Dragon: Looks at Pacifica

The concept of a naked dragon won’t turn any heads. Dragons are always depicted as naked. Therefore, a cross-dressing dragon is one with added ornament, a gilded lily. This is the case with Freddie, a child-like, fire-breathing dragon. He represents the spontaneous innocence of childhood. On occasion, when he gets excited, he breathes fire. This is his nature. The unplanned for, the spontaneous, always has an unforeseen outcome. If the book has any message it’s one of mutual tolerance.
