About This Book
Children’s book suitable ages 9 â€" 12. What if you found a dinosaur egg and took it home and it hatched? What if it kept growing â€" really big? George tries desperately to keep the dragon a secret but the animal keeps revealing himself to all the wrong people at all the wrong times. Join George, Fred and Mally on a madcap adventure that eventually involves the entire nation chasing after this mysterious ‘lizard’.
In 2012 scientists finally proved that animals are sentient beings (this long it took them). In other words, animals feel all the same emotions as we do. When I wrote this book that was the point I was trying to make â€" but I wanted to do it in a fun way so that everybody got an entertaining read and hopefully, also the message.
When George finds a dinosaur egg in the Karoo, he takes it home to England where it hatches in his cupboard. What emerges is not what anybody would expect in their wildest dreams. The dragon is unlikely, unfathomable and entirely bizarre â€" but that essentially is the real heart of the story â€" the discovery that other creatures may not be so very different from us.
The Dragon and George is a fun read where every absurd attempt George makes to hide the dragon from the world, the more visible the creature becomes. George feels he is fighting a losing battle and the dragon is getting bigger by the day. It is only when the dragon is forced to flee for his life, that George realizes he has lost a true friend â€" and he sets out to save him.
