Product Description

Izzy's Dad had a farm. And on that farm there was a goat, a herd of cows, a flock of sheep, a brood of hens, three cats, two dogs... and a dragon!

The pesky dragon's fiery breath turns the eggs to hardboiled, the wheat fields to toast and the cows milk to yoghurt! But Izzy soon discovers that every farm needs a dragon around!

‘... enriched by Melanie Williamson’s dynamic illustrations, with their strong, textured colours and comic caricatures.’
THE SUNDAY TIMES

“Melanie Williamson's illustrations are eye-catchingly quirky and superbly original.”

Beautiful book 6 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback
I love this book. My now-nearly-four-year-old loves it, and has done for a couple of years. My nearly-two-year-old loves it. It's simple, but interesting, and the pictures are just beautiful.

our new favorite! 19 Nov 2009
By stef - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
great illustrations, great story. as soon as we read it the first time - read it again mom. and again. and again! there's a dragon on the farm - you can hear its roar. all the animals are scared. all the adults are annoyed. and izzie is - secretly pleased. And of course, it turns out 'that pesky dragon' is not a scary dragon, but a small, scared, dragon trapped in the well. "Ive been crying for help for days!" A great story about a brave girl who faces her fears and finds a friend.
Cute little dragon story. 27 Oct 2011

Short but sweet. Simple yet not boring. Great illustrations!!! My daughter really likes this book (dragons are not just for boys).
Kristi's Book Nook 12 Jun 2011
By Kristi Bernard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
On Izzie's Dad's farm there were some goats, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats and a dragon. It roared fiercely and that's how they all knew it was a dragon. They didn't dare look at it because it was too dangerous. Every morning the roar of the dragon would awaken Izzie.

The farmer did not like this dragon's roar. It made the eggs the chickens laid rock hard, and the cows milk had become yogurt. Izzie wanted to see the dragon, she thought it seemed sad. The next morning the farm was awakened by the dragon. The air smelled of toast thought Izzie, but it was the farmers prize wheat that was burning.

The farmer and his wife were to afraid to ask the dragon to leave, so they decided to call Remove-A-Dragon. Izzie pleaded that the dragon must be hurt and needs some help. She ran towards the dragon in spite of the farmers warning. You will have to read the story to see if Izzie is eaten by the dragon or if she saves the dragon.
