The Disastrous Little Dragon
By Gillian Johnson
Age: 6+
Imagine a dragon who can’t breathe fire! In this story, Bart the dragon can’t pass his fire test and is hopeless at flying. It’s time to go to Monster Hospital, where four little children who are also monsters will do their best to cure him.
Bart has many adventures at the hospital – being locked in the freezer, flying to the Vast Volcano, gathering crackle berries and rescuing princesses.
But will he also be cured? And will he ever learn to blow fire, not smoke? And what about his terrifying aunty Madge – can the children cure her, too, of her bossiness?!
