Silvester von Spoontines – Flaming Dragon Tooth

  • Fiery dragon fun for reading aloud 
  • Topic: Being different, affectionately and funnily narrated
  • Entirely illustrated in colour by Helmut Dohle

The little dragon Silvester is excited: It will be his birthday tomorrow! His friends will come, there will be a treasure hunt  and a cake, and he will finally get his fire-tooth. And then he will be able to breath fire and show dad that he can light his birthday candle himself. But at midnight –  nothing happens. There is still no fire, just  spit. Where the new dragon tooth is supposed to be there is still an empty space in his mouth. “It doesn’t matter. Then you’ll simply be a spit dragon,” his friend Splash, the water dragon, comforts him. And Silvester’s friend Brenda already has a plan for how they can save this blasted dragon’s birthday together.
