Zog is the keenest young dragon at Dragon School, desperate to fly, roar and breathe fire and win that golden star from Madame Dragon. Sadly he is also the most accident-prone, and every year a kind young girl has to patch up his bumps and bruises. Then in year four he has to capture a princess, and things get properly complicated. Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's picture book makes a smashing Christmas Day half hour, with Lenny Henry narrating, Hugh Skinner as Zog, Tracey Ullman as the formidable teacher and Kit Harington as Sir Gadabout. Warm, funny and ideal for sharing with anyone small and bruised from the garden.
