The Dragon of an Ordinary Family

Margaret Mahy, Helen Oxenbury

• 1969 Greenaway Medal winner
• Score: 10.19

The Belsaki family appear at first to be an ordinary family, but they acquire the most extraordinary pet. Mr Belsaki is determined not to be a "fuddy-duddy" so he buys a "dragon, house trained" from the local pet shop. The pet dragon grows and grows until it fills their whole yard and starts to breathe out smoke and fire.
