Ellie's Dragon by Bob Graham
No friendship is imaginary. When Ellie is very little, she finds a newborn dragon fresh from the egg on a supermarket shelf, and calls him Scratch. He is quite the sweetest thing she has ever seen! From that day on, Ellie and Scratch do everything together. Ellie's mum and her teacher can’t see her fiery friend, but all her friends can – and, over the years, Ellie's dragon grows to be big, house-trained, and very affectionate. And Ellie is growing, too... A moving story about the wonders of imagination and the nature of growing up from one of Australia’s most revered bookmakers.
Parents and children alike will love sharing this evocative story of imagination, the passing of time, and the nature of growing upAl l this with Graham's distinctive illustrations. Highly recommended. * The School Librarian *
