This gift leads to lots of questions, so it is a relief to discover it comes with an instruction booklet. This contains information about the two very different types of dragons which may hatch and they are polar opposites, increasing the suspense for Bunny and Bird. It could be a blue dragon which is slow to grow and makes an excellent pet that requires a diet of fish and chips. If it\u2019s a yellow dragon it grows very quickly and in no time at all becomes a massive, wood eating, fire breathing dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Bunny and Bird place the egg in a nest on a rock and pore over every page of the instruction booklet taking in all the information while questioning and pondering possibilities. They are so engrossed that they are oblivious to all of the action unfolding behind them. The illustrations tell much of the story and this clever technique will have readers actively engaging with this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This highly entertaining tale about friendship highlights the importance of observing and \u2018reading\u2019 the pictures and will be one that children and adults will want to revisit time and time again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Hatch a Dragon is the first book in Nick Bland\u2019s new Bunny and Bird series and is sure to captivate younger readers as they revel in the highly entertaining story, particularly as they discover the narrative that unfolds in the illustrations.
