Welcome to the Dragon Café by Kim Vertue with Zel Cariad

OUT NOW

Do Dragons really exist? 

Do they visit the mysterious café in the middle of the mountains? If so, what would be their favourite breakfast? Would a world-famous wildlife expert keep the secret or give them away? 

Join Sara and Andy on their summer adventures seeking the answers to many such random questions, some of which may be explained in this book…

‘A thrilling boingy read!
...mainly chapter five, which is all about ME!’ 
Smiley Lemon

‘Just read it already!
...and make up your own mind!’ 
Jess the Dragon

The Dragon Café
Opens for business this Solstice!

Dragons will fly,

Macaws will talk,

Fluffies will float,

Pirates will fling cake,

Hairdressers will arrive,

Lemons will boing,

Limes will snooze,

Film crews will appear,

Portals will magically open,


and Jack will still be an octopus...
