Kindness and friendship are at the heart of this beautifully illustrated new picture book. Saffi isn’t like other dragons, she doesn’t want to crush castles or capture princesses, and sitting on craggy mountains just hurts her bottom! She decides to settle in a sunny woodland, but just can’t convince the other animal residents that she wants to be their friend. Only when some nastier dragons arrive can Saffi prove she’s different. The story gently provides lots to talk and think about, and Lambert’s illustrations are typically gorgeous, Saffi is a brilliant jewel-like blue and the woodland animals scamper through across the pages with real grace. ~Andrea Reece
Saffi isn't like other dragons. She doesn't enjoy crushing castles and capturing princesses. But when she finds the perfect new home, how can she persuade her new neighbours that she is a helpful sort of dragon? Written and illustrated by the award-winning Jonny Lambert (Little Why, The Only Lonely Panda and Tiger Tiger), this is a humorous and heart-warming tale about bravery, overcoming prejudices and finding new friends.
