About the Author:

M. P. Robertson is an internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of children's books. His many books include The Great Dragon Rescue, The Egg, Frank 'n' Stan, Food Chain, Hieronymus Betts and His Unusual Pets, and Ice Trap!, written by Meredith Hooper. He lives with his family in Wiltshire, U.K.

From Booklist:

PreS-Gr. 2. Having hatched his dragon friend (The Egg, 2001) and accompanied him on a heroic mission (The Great Dragon Rescue, 2004), George rejoins his winged sidekick in a third adventure. A faraway wizard has been collecting dragon eggs to "rid the land of [the] cursed creatures," but the presence of our heroes causes one of the eggs to hatch and its adorable baby to imprint upon its would-be destroyer. Readers who haven't encountered the first book may wonder at George's unruffled demeanor when a dragon raps upon his window at book's beginning, but most will nonetheless follow the ensuing campaign with interest, drawn by the familiar fairy-tale setting and appealing, fantastical creatures. Though Robertson's workmanlike writing and occasionally muddy watercolors don't really display the depth typically required to sustain a series, it's nice to be able to offer young ones a bit of the epic-fantasy experience in a form that is far more manageable than the tomes bandied about by older kids.
