Little dragon Drake and his father live in a quiet valley. One day his father decides Drake is a big boy, and sends him off to burn down a few houses in the nearby village. Drake is alarmed but sets out to do as he is told. He targets a little wooden house, but the boy who lives there has a better idea and encourages Drake to burn down the school.
Fortunately, the teacher is a quick thinker too and Drake returns home without having burned anything down, though with something to placate his dad. In its quiet way, this is a very funny story and it unfolds with exceptional fluency, the story carried by a longer-than-usual picture book text, full-page colour illustrations and black line vignettes.
It poses interesting questions about following orders or doing what’s right, and whether it’s better to be admired or feared! ~ Andrea Reece
