Description
Frankie's quiet night is shattered by an unexpected visitor—a fire-breathing dragon named Percy, who has nowhere else to go. But being friends with a dragon isn’t easy… especially one who doesn’t follow the rules!
Sparks fly (literally) as Percy jumps on beds, breathes fire, and makes a spectacular mess. Can this unlikely duo learn what it really means to be a friend?
There Came a Dragon is a hilarious and active rhyming story full of mayhem, forgiveness, and the magic of second chances. Dynamic illustrations bursting with colour and energy bring Percy’s antics—and the duo’s emotional journey—vividly to life.

About the Author
Lorna Lovell Stallman lives in Des Moines, Iowa, USA, but grew up on a farm, which was a lot of hard work but also a lot of fun. She enjoyed helping with chores, even when it meant being chased by two incredibly rude sheep. Lorna tried to instill a love of country life in her two children and is still a farm girl at heart. She likes to include animals in her stories and lives with two of her favorite animals, English setter Phoebe and ragdoll cat Indigo.
