The Hatchling: Flint the Dragon, Book 1

by Patricia Grace

AN EGG CRACKS – WHAT WILL HATCH?

What if an absent-minded Wizard left a mysterious blue egg with you and then, POOF, disappeared? Would you know what to do with it? Where would you put it? How would you keep it safe and warm? What do you imagine could possibly be inside of it? And, would you tell anybody?

Join the animal friends of Green Wood as they try to answer these questions. Perhaps by sharing their ideas and working together they will come up with the perfect solution.
