About the Author:
M. P. Robertson is an internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of children's books. His many books include The Egg, The Dragon Snatcher, 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. 1. In Robertson's The Egg (2001), a young boy, George, finds a dragon egg in a chicken coop. When the hatchling emerges, George trains it in the essential arts of fire breathing, damsel rescuing, and so on. This companion story finds George once again in the coop, where he is startled by the reappearance of his dragon friend, who returns in a rush, scoops up boy and coop, and flies off to "the land where everything began with Once upon a time." Upon alighting, the friends rescue a baby dragon from a wicked witch and discover a sweet surprise about the baby's parentage. The threads tying the story elements together are too slender; children unfamiliar with the first book may be particularly confused by the dragon's sudden appearance at the book's outset. But Robertson's watercolor illustrations are a delight, rendering the fairy-tale world's menacing, frog-eating witch; shimmering enchanted castle; and paunchy, sweet-tempered dragon in equally winsome detail.
