ZOG Story Book

“Zog was the keenest dragon in school. He tried his hardest every day to win a golden star.”

From the world-renowned “superstar duo” Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, creators of The Gruffalo, comes the high-flying tale of the most accident-prone student at Dragon School. Part of a branded relaunch of this beloved collection, Zog is a story of perseverance, unexpected friendships, and finding your own way to shine.

The Story

Meet Zog, the biggest dragon in school—and also the clumsiest. As he learns how to fly, roar, and breathe fire, his enthusiasm leads to more than a few bumps, bruises, and singed wings. Every year, Zog hopes to win a coveted golden star, but his mishaps keep getting in the way. Thankfully, a mysterious young girl is always on hand to patch him up. Little does Zog know, his new friend has a secret of her own that will change his life—and the kingdom—forever!

Why we love it

• A Lesson in Resilience: Zog’s journey teaches children that even if you crash into a tree or set your wing on fire, the most important thing is to get back up and try again.

• Enchanting Illustrations: Axel Scheffler brings Dragon School to life with a vibrant cast of colourful dragons, each with their own unique personality and expression.

• Rhythmic Reading: Like all of Julia Donaldson’s classics, the story is told in a wonderful rhyming verse that makes it a “purr-fect” choice (wait, wrong book—let’s say “roarsome” choice!) for reading aloud at bedtime.

• Proven Favourite: With over 670,000 copies sold in the UK alone, Zog has become a modern staple of children’s literature and a beloved BBC animated special.
