The Princess and the Dragon

by Lynne Benton, Beatrice Bencivenni (Illustrator)

The princess has a very unusual best friend ... a fire-breathing dragon! A Prince passing by stops to rescue the princess but soon realises he is not needed! The Tiddlers series features fun stories with a word count of fewer than 50 words for children who are just starting to read. A word list at the beginning of the story allows for a quick check of the reader's ability to read and understand words before reading, and a puzzle at the end of the story encourages rereading for pleasure.

About the author

From an early age Lynne Benton spent much of her time reading and writing stories. However, for some years writing took a back seat while she taught in primary schools, married and brought up four children, so it was only when they began leaving home for university that she rediscovered her love of writing and began to get her stories published. Now she writes stories for younger children learning to read, as well as longer books for the 8-11 age group. She lives with her husband in Bath, and has recently begun reading her longer books on westwiltsradio.com.
