Daisy is nearly six and she knows exactly what she wants for her birthday – a dragon. That’s not so unusual, but Daisy actually wants a real, LIVE dragon! What is her family to do? Dinosaurs in the museum aren’t good enough, neither are crocodiles in the zoo, and elaborate dinners cooked in the shape of dragons (with bacon for wings) don’t really come close. The big day dawns, but will Daisy get her wish?
Written by Beth Webb, who has been performing The Junkyard Dragon in schools for several years, the book is illustrated by Russell Julian. From Lion Children’s Books, it costs £5.99 in paperback and is aimed at children between five and seven.
