A Gold Star for Zog

Bright, cheerful, fun illustrations and rhyming text tell the story of Zog and his classmates at dragon school.  Poor Zog is ever so very enthusiastic and well-meaning, but he struggles with each lesson, but after each failure he is comforted by a young girl who tends his bumps and buises.  When it comes time for the final lesson, how to capture a princess, the young girl reveals herself as Princes Pearl, and offers herself to be captures, so Zog finally gets his gold star.  Princess Pearl stays to tend the other dragons, too, until a knight shows up to rescue her; when she declares herself uninterested in being rescued, she and the knight team up as a flying medical crew, with Zog as their transport.  Presumably, they all live happily ever after.  Sure to be a hit.
