Zog

If you loved the Gruffalo, this will be a winner for you! Zog is a young dinosaur romping through Madam Dragon’s school learning new skills with huge enthusiasm and often consternation as he falls, bumps and burns his way through minor injury after minor injury. A mysterious young girl always seems to arrive at precisely the right time to anoint his wounds and smooth his injured pride!

When Zog realises that all his hard work has been aimed at capturing a princess the plot thickens! The combination of Donaldson’s rollicking rhyming text and Scheffler’s humorous, slightly anxious illustrations build up the suspense until the dramatic denouement but all ends… well I won’t spoil it for you – go out and get this book – it will be a firm favourite in any Key Stage One class library.
