The Dragon Who Lost His Spark — questions and answers
What is "The Dragon Who Lost His Spark" about?
Ember the dragon can only manage smoke rings — until a friend climbs the hill. In MeStory's personalised edition your own child is the hero of all 24 pages. The book opens: On the hill above the village lived a small dragon named Ember. Ember used to breathe lovely fire, but lately only smoke came out. He hid in his cave, embarrassed, making grey rings like tiny clouds.
What happens in the middle of "The Dragon Who Lost His Spark"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: "At the bonfire party," he said, "when everyone cheered at once." "Then we need cheering," said your child, and marched down to the village. The baker brought buns. The twins brought drums. The mayor brought his hat.
How does "The Dragon Who Lost His Spark" end?
It closes gently, ready for bedtime: Ember kept one tiny spark in a jar, in case of grey mornings. But he never needed it again — not with your child just down the hill.
