The Great Dragon Bake Off
For the most ferocious of dragons, life at the Ferocious Dragon Academy involves learning to become very good at being very BAD. Our hero,
Flamie is particularly ferocious, BUT his outstanding feature is his passion for baking pastries. Whilst others are perfecting dastardly dragon skills, he sneaks to the kitchens and perfects his pastry and cake making skills. Come finals day, Flamie is told by Miss Puffitup that he has failed all his exams, so in order to graduate, he must perform the most dastardly dragon deed of all… kidnap a princess… and eat her. Kidnapped she is, and the illustrations help the text so well as we see the bond quickly developing between captured princess and failed
dragon. At the graduation ceremony it is his baking prowess Flamie exhibits, along with his helper princess; for they have created a truly magnificent feast, to the delight of all the other dragons. No reader could resist the sumptuous pages full of chocolate eclairs, choux pastry swans and fruity cupcakes, with ‘not a soggy bottom between them,’ announce Paul Firewood, Heston Blowitall and Scaly Berry! Lots of fun, combining the ever popular dragon myth with the current bake-off craze.
