Description
The eagerly-anticipated picture book from Andy Shepherd, author of the best-selling The Boy Who Grew Dragons series.
Tomas and Lolli love Christmas. And they're not the only ones! Their dragons love Christmas, too. But they have a habit of getting into trouble. When a brand-new snow dragon hatches on Christmas Eve, she unleashes a flurry of snow that transforms their dragon-growing garden into a winter wonderland.
It's all fun and snowball fights to start with... but there's one BIG downside. There's now SO much snow that they're stuck and won't be able to deliver the Christmas presents in time! Can Tomas, Lolli, Grandad and the dragons work together to save Christmas and spread a little magic?
A winter-warmer of a picture book, which captures all the magic and mayhem of The Boy Who Grew Dragons, but for a younger audience.
Andy Shepherd's sparkling writing conjures warmth and charm with every phrase and her characters are artfully brought to life by the stunning illustrations of Sarah Warburton (The Princess and the Peas; Dinosaurs in the Supermarket; Twinkle).
