For any little person who has an interest in the countryside, nature, horses and of course, dragons!
Fall in love with sweet little Darren the Dragon, as he helps his friend, Chris the Farrier, to rescue nine baby ducklings, and finds out how Herbert the Horse gets shiny new shoes!
A story of friendship, kindness and helpfulness with opportunities to learn and interact throughout, and an activity to complete at the end of the book.
The first in a series of the adventures of a farrier and his little dragon friend.
The stories in these books are inspired by the real life experiences of a farrier in his everyday work shoeing horses, set in and around the beautiful West Country of England.
Find out about some of the things that a farrier does as he goes about his important work looking after horses' feet... Julie wrote this book after Christopher told her about the little dragon who naps in the furnace he uses to heat the horseshoes. Christopher gets the children on his round to wake Darren up so that he can help him to light it.
'Wakey wakey, Darren!'
