~ Catherine Rayner is the study of an author project I am doing so excuse the sudden influx of her books ~

I quite liked this one (I like anything with dragons in let's be honest...) and can imagine it working really well with slightly older children. Even though the story is basic and the language aimed at younger children, I can see it being an easy to understand book that could be made much broader and deeper using the context and empathy it holds.

The moral in the book is again very clear and strong, with the two titular characters going on a journey of discovery and learning that the best friendships can be just as good as any family and just as strong, and that looking different is more than okay.

This book has much more action, with a good arc for plot, which I feel older children would appreciate as well.
