Description
Book SynopsisThis is the story of a little boy called Alem who goes on an adventure.
It's his birthday, but who knows where he can go to celebrate it?
Maybe the bear, the fox, the treefrog or the bulldog know?
But don't ask the dragon . . . or he will EAT you!

A stunning new rhyming folk tale for our time, about someone who wonders where is home. The answer is surprising but it tells us all, from the youngest reader to the oldest that you can find home so long as you've got friends. It's moving, loveable and philosophical, in other words, great mind-soup! -- MICHAEL ROSEN
Lemn's dragon is one we all need to meet, want to meet. A dragon with kind teeth, a friend-dragon. A Lemn-dragon! We have grandchildren who will love it. Grandpa loved it too -- MICHAEL MORPURGO
