The picture book world's answer to How to Train Your Dragon, Impossible Creatures and Raya and the Last Dragon - crossed with The Great British Bake Off!

Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww.

Ember fears he'll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal – and gold that is shared? That's best of all.

- Perfect for kids who love magic, fantasy and baking!
- Themes of sharing, self-confidence and trying something new.
- With luminous, enchanting illustrations and glowing golden panels throughout.
- A perfect readaloud for bedtime or brunchtime!
- For fans of The Café at the Edge of the Woods, funny fairytales and fantastic beasts.
