Alex and His Magic Dragon (Paperback)

Meet eight-year-old Alex Jones, a boy who knows his own mind. There are two things that he likes doing most of all - going to school and playing football, but there are three things that he doesn't like doing - having to go to bed at 9.00 p.m., having to listen to his older sister learning to play the flute, and having to eat food he hates. Alex needs some help and, luckily, in his case that `help' turns out to be a magic dragon egg cup called Flicker. In a collection of delightful stories the reader follows the adventures of Alex and his magic dragon. What do you do if you want to eat something more exciting than boiled eggs for breakfast, have help with your homework, chase away a bothersome rat, help your sister to ice-skate properly, or tackle any number of annoying little problems that can occur every day? Don't worry about it. Just call on Flicker who, with a flick of his tail, will make the fun and magic begin!
