Zog

This beautifully illustrated board book is a delightful read for children and adults alike. The story of Zog is engaging and full of charm, with vibrant colors and sturdy pages perfect for little hands. It’s an excellent choice for bedtime reading or to spark a child’s imagination during the day. The gift edition adds a special touch with quality printing and presentation, making it a wonderful present for young readers. Our son, who has autism, responds well to the rhythmic storytelling and bright illustrations, making it both enjoyable and comforting. A lovely addition to any child’s book collection.

I’m writing this review because my 3 year old was pretending to be a doctor. Without any prompting she stated she was being princess Pearl from Zog. She has never pretended to be a person before so this story and the character of Pearl has obviously stuck with her. We read this book in the library together and we liked it so much that I brought it. I like that Pearl is a good role model for young girls, the story is fun and the illustrations appealing to young children. We’ve been reading Zog (the 1st book) to her since she was 2 and she asks for this one regularly too. Brilliant book, in fact I think it’s even better than Zog.

Great book! Bright, colourful, bold. We love a board book as our youngest can easily open the pages too. Highly recommend all of the Julia Donaldson books.

Im absolutely loving the Zog story! It's a fab tale for little ones, full of fun and adventure. As a parent, I adore reading it to my kids - the rhymes are catchy, and the illustrations are brilliant. It's become a bedtime favourite in our house, and we all look forward to reading it together. Highly recommend for families with young children

Great book ,lovely and colourful, good size

Wonderful story telling

Our household have been massive Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler fans ever since our eldest was nearly one and we bought The Gruffalo. Even though our boys are now 4 and 6, and they don't request these books as much as they used to...I still felt that I had to get Zog when I saw it. Zog is all about a young dragon at Dragon School. He's really very keen and tries his best with all of his lessons, but somehow things keep going wrong and he keeps having accidents. Luckily, every time he gets into a scrape a mysterious girl comes along and fixes him up with plasters and bandages etc. Finally, Zog has to attempt the hardest task of all - capturing a princess - and finds that he's really not very good at it. He's feeling very sorry for himself when along comes the girl again - can she save the day this time? Of course, as you'd expect this book has a happy ending...although I've only given it 4 stars instead of 5 because the ending felt a little bit forced somehow and our little boys didn't immediately fully understand it. However, that said, it's still a lovely rhyming text that mostly trips off the tongue and the pictures, as ever, are a joy to behold. There are so many little details in the illustrations that we could sit for ages whilst the boys point out all the insects, animals and other goings on in the background. All in all, I would recommend this book to anyone with little ones as you generally can't go wrong with a Julia/Axel book. However, if you've not yet read "Room on the Broom", "Gruffalo" or "The Snail and the Whale" by the same authors then I would recommend those even more highly than this.

Lovely book my grandson loves it

Quickly became one of my toddler's favourite books. Page quality is excellent, can clearly see it's printed outside India.

Bellissimo

NHKでCGアニメを見て一目惚れし、原作を探すとこれが出てきたので買いました。 本当に可愛くて想像力が刺激され、ずーっとずっと大事にしておきたいです。 内容は英語表記なのでぼくの英語力ではいまいちわかりませんが、一度アニメを見ているので大体わかるし、絵も分かりやすいので初めてでもよくわかるとおもいます。オススメの一冊です。

My kids love this story. Love all the Julia Donaldson books! The book is also very good quality and has not shown any wear despite how rough my kids are with it.

Too repetitive
