Can Prince Griff keep his pet dragon hidden before sparks fly...literally? From the popular creator of Margaret's Unicorn comes this whimsical romp that stars a young royal, an ever-growing dragon, and a very sneezy queen with an allergy to magical creatures.
The baby dragon is up on my head, nesting like bird. His yellow eyes peer down at me through my royal bangs.
“You’re so teensy,” I murmur. “I think I’ll dub thee Sir Pipsqueak...”
More than anything, Prince Griffin of Wyrmrock wants a pet. The only problem? His mother, the Queen, is allergic to ALL magical beasts.
Luckily for Griff, his aunt, the great Sorceress Morgana, has a trick up her sleeve. For his eighth birthday, she sneaks him a mysterious gift: an egg that hatches to reveal... a baby dragon!
It isn't terribly difficult, at first, to keep Sir Pipsqueak the dragon a secret. But soon enough, Pip is much too big to hide in Griffin's cloak pocket. Or behind the gargoyle statue. Or even in the grand armory... Plus, who knew dragons spontaneously breathe fire??
Forsooth, how will Griff ever keep the Queen from finding out about his beloved pet?
