"And lastly, who doesn't love dragons? A new book for young children compares parental addiction with a dragon. This one is named Al the Dragon, and at first he is welcomed as a festive visitor at family events, but his relationship with Dad becomes all consuming, and Al becomes so big he forces everyone else out of the house. When treatment of the addiction begins, Al becomes smaller and smaller as he shows up with Dad at 12 step meetings and a visit with the sponsor."
