Billy and the Dragon

Product Information

Brave, bright Billy is back for another thrilling adventure in Nadia Shireen’s Billy and the Dragon, an exciting tale of derring-do framed around a fancy-dress party and a super-daring rescue.

Bronnie is so lovely with the boys and we also felt that having a man enthusing about the books set a great example. In 2017, she collaborated with Book Trust to promote their Time To Read campaign, sending 700,000 copies of The Bumblebear to school children all across the UK.

Once again the hero is Billy, once again Billy has her trusty sidekick Fatcat with her (Fatcat who has just one expression) and once again Billy pulls things out of her big hair because she has everything in there, a little like Claude has all sorts of things under his beret in the Claude the Dog books. Despite the hesitation of her fellow partygoers, and the difficult terrain through which Fat Cat has been carried, Billy is undeterred. It was such a pleasure to meet you both, and I really appreciated how smoothly and professionally you ran everything. They would also only drop off a case of books and leave us to run it – it was so lovely to have you on hand to chat to the children and recommend them books, as well as the small (but appreciated!
