The Dragonsitter (The Dragonsitter series)

Product Information

A marvellous and funny fantasy adventureabout not fitting in and having the courage to face fears head on. Eddie and Emily visit London with their father, but one of the dragons slips away on a trip to the Natural History Museum. I also like that this one little boy named Edward Smith-Pickle goes all the way from Scotland to Mongolia but he’s still the jolly boy he always is, even when he is standing there in front of three blood thirsty dragons.

Edward has gone with his Uncle to Mongolia to see the mythical Great Dragon Battle Ceremony and meet Professor Baast.
