A gentle hero. A lonely dragon. A kingdom that has forgotten how to listen.
Since the spring, a great dragon has burned fields and frightened whole villages across the kingdom. The King's bravest knights have failed to stop her. So the King sends for the most unlikely hero of all: Tobias of Briarwood, a kind villager with a rare gift for understanding creatures.
Armed with nothing but a walking stick and a good heart, Tobias sets out for the dragon's mountain. On the way, he has to cross the enchanted Whispering Wood, where a wounded white stag and a lake of living shadows test his courage. There he learns that anger is often pain in disguise, and that the bravest thing you can do is try to understand.
But when he finally stands before the great dragon, will listening be enough to bring peace to the kingdom?
Inside this beautifully illustrated fantasy adventure:
- 16 detailed black-and-white illustrations that bring Tobias's journey to life
- A warm, exciting story about empathy, courage and kindness
- Five short chapters, perfect for bedtime reading or independent readers ages 7-11
- A gentle message that people (and dragons) who frighten us are often frightened themselves
The Taming of the Dragon is the perfect gift for young readers who love dragons, magical forests and heroes who win with kindness instead of swords.
