Zog and the Flying Doctors Synopsis
Meet the Flying Doctors:
Princess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and, of course, their trusty
'air ambulance', Zog the dragon, in this fabulously original
sequel to the bestselling ZOG.
There's much to do, as they fly around tending a sunburnt mermaid,
a distressed unicorn and a sneezy lion.
But should princesses really be doctors?
Pearl's uncle, the King, doesn't think so - until he himself falls
ill, and only Pearl knows how to cure him.
This Early Reader edition contains the complete classic story and
