It is the kind of book that is not.
More information:
"The Destruction of Bel and the Dragon" is the third in a trinity of writings questionably added to the book of Daniel (along with 'Song of the Holy Children' and 'Susanna and the Elders') contained in what is called the 'Apocryphal books', a larger collection of writings which can be found in certain Bible translations. The Apocrypha, meaning 'concealed/uncanonical/added', are called 'deuterocanonical' (meaning 'second' or 'later') rather than 'protocanonical', by many Catholic writers, because they are believed, generally, to be 'spurious'(false or invalid), having been added later after the original Bible canon was sealed. The Apocrypha were not found in the ancient Jewish canon of inspired scripture, were specifically excluded from the Hebrew Canon at the councils of Jamnia in 90CE and 118CE, and were not part of the Jerusalem or Palestinian canon. Most scholars do not consider them part of the inspired scriptures.
The story supposedly continues the life of Daniel and his exploits involving slaying a dragon, idols, another lion's den, Habakkuk, the god Bel and King Cyrus, and is called 'pious legendary embroidery' by The Illustrated Bible Dictionary (vol 1, pg 76)
