A celebration of found family, experimentation, disappointment, and delightful surprises, plus what's truly important in life--delicious snacks.

Spreckle the dragon lives on a farm with her loving family of chickens. It is a fine home, but she is fed up with their diet of dried corn and slugs, Spreckle explores the bounty of snacks the farm has to offer, from hay to pig slop. Tragically, nothing hits the spot. Life without a decent snack is hardly a life at all, as far as Spreckle is concerned.

Will this hungry dragon with a burning need for the perfect snack ever find satisfaction?
