How Dragons Got Senses Ron McAdow

In this picture book, a worm-like creature that lives in the sky receives sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch from other animals. At first, Skyworm has none of these abilities. It floats above the Earth, which it longs to see. An eagle shares its sharp sense of sight with the Skyworm. Similarly, Skyworm receives hearing from a rabbit, taste from a goat, smell from a bear, and touch from human beings, who rename the creature Dragon. In exchange for being taught how to make itself clothing, the dragon gives human beings the power of imagination.
