What kind of book is bel and the dragon in the bible?

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)

How do you know when your bible has more than 66 books?

(1) If it has the title, "Holy Bible with Apocrypha" on its spine or cover, or, (2) you turn to the contents page and you count more than 66 books, or (3) if one of those books have titles like Wisdom of Solomon, Bel and the Dragon, 1 or 2 Esdras, 1 or 2 Maccabees (these are books belonging to the Apocrypha). The presence of any one of these features would indicate that your bible probably has more than 66 books.
