5-8 Infant/Junior
A superb exploitation of traditional material: Ace, like other dragons can breathe fire and fly; unlike others of his kind however, he can 'spin gold into straw' an accomplishment that proves especially useful in an emergency. This funny story, wittily illustrated in shades of grey, and orange by the inimitable Blake, is ideal for the newly independent reader and for slightly older children who do not find reading easy.
