“A wonderful tale of a dragon and friendship.
We Grew a Dragon by Emma Chinnery is an absolute delight from start to finish.
This is a really lovely book for 5-7 year olds- a bedtime story, an independent read or a great class story. The illustrations are full of colour and magic and the text is pitch perfect for this age group.
This is a book to be read over and over and a great classroom resource.
Highly recommended - one I'll be telling friends and teaching colleagues about.”
