Product Description
George knows something isn't right when he finds more than he bargained for under his mother's favourite chicken, and he soon finds himself looking after a baby dragon. George takes his job as a parent seriously, teaching the hatchling all sorts of 'dragony' ways, but the dragon begins to pine for his own kind, and one day he disappears.

Format:Hardcover
M.P.Robertson is a brilliant illustrator/author and this is one of his/her best. A lonely boy finds a huge egg that hatches into..a dragon. Naturally, the boy then has to teach it how to behave like one, wearing a colander for a helmet and eventually returning it to dragonland. Funny and touching, it's the best Easter present you could give an imaginative child.

A friend lent me this book and now I am going to have to buy my own copy from Amazon because my 4 year old son and I love it so!

My two boys love this book - it has swords and knights helmets but ultimately it's about learning to care for a fellow creature - perfect bedtime reading for young boys and girls. The pictures are brilliantly composed, expertly painted and and full of character and humour. Definitely a favorite and the best thing is that there are three more in the series!

Wonderful start for our KS1 topic.
We started our fire (and dragon mini-topic) with this book, to start off the mystery of our own Dragon egg. It really helped capture the children's imagination in my year2 class. Read more
