A personalised dragon book where your child saves a dragon's egg

Your child is building a den in the garden from an old wooden plank and a blanket when a puff of smoke rises over the hills. Off they go with the plank and a torch, to a cave of sparkling crystals in the mountains — where Ember the Dragon's egg has rolled away.

A puff of smoke

A painted storybook page: two girls at a garden fence, one pointing at a puff of smoke rising from a far-off mountain
Over the hills, a puff of smoke rises from a mountain. Somebody up there needs help.

Too squelchy

A painted storybook page: a girl wobbling with one boot stuck in mud in a crystal cave, her sister tugging at her own boot, a green dragon peering in behind
Ember's egg sits on a dry rock, across a patch of squelchy mud. Boots stick, arms wobble, and back they step, puffing.

The plank from the den

A painted storybook page: a girl walking carefully along a wooden plank laid across mud in a crystal cave, arms out, her little sister behind her holding a speckled egg
Then your child has an idea: the old plank from the den. Laid across the mud, it makes a path, and the egg comes back safe.

Warm and safe

A painted storybook page: a smiling green dragon curled round a speckled egg in a nest of stones, two girls kneeling beside it
Ember curls round her egg, warm and safe again.
