The fanciful stance of this story is somewhat overstated and simplifies a story that could have had much more depth. You guys are such a force for good and I am a passionate supporter of Indie booksellers, so I'm so happy this worked out well (I'd love to know how many books were sold if you have it to hand - it felt like quite a lot! This is a beautifully illustrated book about a boy named George who notices naughty dragons around him in his everyday life. A complete 3 week unit of work for Non-Fiction (for Fiction see my other unit on the Dragon Machine). The art is okay, but the story and characters make up for it only because they bring to mind a story.Not only have the children have been building sentences with full stop and capital letter screwdrivers, they have been using an adjectives paintbrush to describe nouns and make their writing even better!

George is the only one who can see the overlooked and ignored dragons that twine around the ankles and sewer grates around him. The traditional style and writing cadence makes it an easy book to read aloud and it stays low-energy enough to be a good bedtime story.
