The Dragon at the Zoo
The Dragon at the Zoo by Melanie Koster introduces us to Cedric, a dragon like no other. He lives at the zoo, adores children, and is quite possibly the most spectacular dragon Tig has ever known.
However, when the real reptiles insist he is not a true dragon, Cedric begins to doubt himself. With Tig on his back, he soars far away to find somewhere he belongs, leaving the zoo in chaos.
It will take a murmuration of birds, a zoo full of worried animals, and a very big apology to bring their beloved dragon home again.
This is a warm and magical celebration of imagination, belonging, and what makes something real.
