How to Grow a Dragon

Summary

Join Sarah and Mr Pottifer in their magical plant shop, where fantastical creatures grow from trees!

A story that celebrates problem solving, kindness and resourcefulness.

An unexpected delivery of dragodil seeds provides the perfect chance for Sarah and Mr Pottifer to grow helpful dragon pets for their customers - or does it? It turns out that these fiery dragons are not very well-behaved at all... and everything soon spirals into smoke-filled, out-of-control DRAGON CHAOS!

Can Sarah's quick thinking and green fingers save the day?

The second magical adventure from the author and illustrator of the bestselling How to Grow a Unicorn.
