Fizzle & Pip

Three complete Fizzle the Dragon adventures. One book.

Looking for a gift a 7, 8 or 9 year old will actually finish? Meet Fizzle, a young dragon whose fire is completely, hilariously broken. Every dragon on Mount Sizzle breathes flame. Fizzle breathes bubbles. Or butterflies. Or confetti. Or, on a really bad day, a toot.

This collection puts the first three books of the Fizzle & Pip series together in one paperback:

1. The Big Fire Fail - A freak frost storm freezes the whole village solid, and the mighty fire-breathers only make it worse. The one dragon whose fire has never worked right may be the only one who can save the day.
2. The Cave of Surprises - Deep in the forbidden caves, Fizzle and his best friend Pip find Lumin, a shy dragon who breathes glowing light instead of fire and has been hiding for years.
3. The Big Welcome - A sky full of strangers blows into the village, breathing wind and frost and mist, and they have come looking for the legendary "wrong-fire" dragon.

Why it works as a gift:

• Funny first. Silly sound effects, dragon disasters and laugh-out-loud trouble, for kids who would rather giggle than read.
• Dyslexia-friendly design. A clean, easy-to-read font, short lines, short chapters and plenty of white space, so a page never looks like a wall of words.
• Pictures in every chapter. Original black-and-white illustrations keep newly independent readers turning pages.
• Three books, one spine. The whole series so far in a single volume - no waiting for the next one, nothing to lose out of a box, and one thing to wrap.
• A message grown-ups like too. The thing that makes you different can turn out to be the best thing about you.

Just right for: newly independent readers in grades 2 and 3, reluctant readers who insist they do not like books, kids with dyslexia, bedtime read-alouds with a younger brother or sister, and any bookshelf that could use more dragons.

Three complete adventures, one small dragon who gets it wrong in the most useful way possible. Start the collection today.
