The Night Dragon
The Night Dragon | Naomi Howarth
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
I wish I could fly, and breathe fire, and fill the sky with great grey, sooty clouds, Maud said to her friend, Mouse. Maud is picked on by the other dragons, so stays cooped up in her cave, sad and lonely. But when the chance comes, will her friend Mouse help her pluck up the courage to fly? A beautiful picture book about individuality and friendship from Naomi Howarth, whose first book The Crow's Tale was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize.

4.5 ⭐️ This book very much reminds me of Dumbo, except we have a dragon that can not fly instead of an elephant who can. What makes the pairing is the little mouse telling them that they can do anything they set their minds too. This book has wonderfully colorful and unique illustrations. And the story, while a bit long winded, is perfectly attuned to the message it is sending. I hope for this to be a new classic.
