About this book
'Some children have cats. Some children have dogs. I have a dragon.'
So begins the story of a little boy and his amazing pet. Through gloriously larger-than-life illustrations, we see the pair enjoying all sorts of activities – hide and seek with friends, dancing, going to the library, playing basketball, making music and raiding the fridge. Above all, Zibbo loves going to birthday parties, although in a hilarious final scene we see that he can prove a bit of a fire hazard when it comes to blowing out the candles!
This is a rare and perfect example of completely incidental inclusion. It is a delightful story about friendship and being oneself, relevant to any – indeed every – child.
