The Bakery Dragon

WINNER OF THE BARNES & NOBLE PICTURE BOOK AWARD AND OVERALL CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARD The picture book world's answer to How to Train Your Dragon, Impossible Creatures and Raya and the Last Dragon - crossed with The Great British Bake Off! Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww. Ember fears he'll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal - and gold that is shared? That's best of all. - Perfect for kids who love magic, fantasy and baking! - Themes of sharing, self-confidence and trying something new. - With luminous, enchanting illustrations and glowing golden panels throughout. - A perfect readaloud for bedtime or brunchtime! - For fans of The Café at the Edge of the Woods, funny fairytales and fantastic beasts. "Standout visuals bring a delectable tale to life." Kirkus Reviews
