Poor Dragon Dave has been trapped inside the book Dragon Soup for as long as he can remember. He likes most of the story, but is really not very pleased with the ending. Happily, his good friend Prince George has an idea, before long the twosome are merrily removing and changing words in the Dragon Soup story.
Bold illustrations bring this charming story to life, as it plays with the concept of what a book is and what it can be. With a subtle message about taking control of your own destiny and writing your own story, young readers will surely love the idea of taking charge and erasing or adapting the parts you don’t like. In a fun and gentle way, Dave and George show that change can be a good thing, not just in stories but in people too! Phillip Curran’s bright illustrations add layers of hilarious detail to the story that children will love spotting and tracking through the story.
Lots of fun with a gentle message, Dragon Dave the Not So Brave will be a joyous addition to any picture book collection.
