Bob the Dragon

Bob the Dragon is a humorous and heartwarming children's book, perfect for readers aged 6-10, about a friendly dragon who learns about friendship, identity, and family.

Bob is no ordinary dragon-he's kind, gentle, and has a peculiar habit of changing colours depending on what he eats. Found as an egg by Arthur Bailey, a kind fisherman living in a quiet village in Devon, Bob hatches into a sweet, light-purple dragon with a big heart.

As Bob grows, so does his bond with Arthur and the village children, Ben and Charlotte. Bob quickly becomes a beloved member of the family, sharing in their daily adventures and charming everyone with his harmless quirks-like breathing puffs of steam instead of fire and spitting cherry pips into buckets. However, not everything is easy for Bob. He struggles to fit in and wonders about his true identity, especially when confronted by the village bully, Timmy Hammond, who refuses to believe that Bob is a "real" dragon.

Bob's journey takes an exciting turn when he meets other dragons and finally learns to fly. He discovers that his family lives high up in the clouds, and they've been searching for him ever since his egg was lost. Torn between his new dragon friends and the human family he's grown to love, Bob must decide where he truly belongs.

With colourful transformations, humorous mishaps, and plenty of adventure, Bob the Dragon is a story about finding friendship and family in the unlikeliest places, and learning to embrace who you are-whether you're a dragon or not.
