There Is No Dragon In This Story by Lou Carter, illustrated by Deborah Allwright
About the Book:
A hilarious story about a dragon who wants to be the hero, but is NEVER the hero. Or is he … ?
Poor old dragon. Nobody wants him in their story. Not Goldilocks, not Hansel and Gretel – no one. But Dragon will not give up! He shall continue on his course of finding someone who wants him in their story. ANYONE. His boundless enthusiasm surely won’t get him into any trouble. Surely … A glorious story about dragons, heroes and ice cream with sprinkles. From author Lou Carter, a phenomenal new talent, and Deborah Allwright, illustrator of the bestselling The Night Pirates.
