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.

By A. Craig HALL OF FAME TOP 1000 REVIEWER
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.

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!
