Description
Shortlisted for the 2018 Waterstones Childrens Book Prize. A dragon with a short temper is not a good combination, as Fergal's family and friends soon find out. He burns the dinner (literally), reduces the football goal to ashes and absolutely cannot play a nice, quiet board game. It is only when he starts to notice other animals have clever tricks to calm down that Fergal begins to win back his friends, especially when he discovers dragons can cool off in a very handy way.
Shortlisted for the 2018 Waterstones Childrens Book Prize.
Fergal is a nice chap... but when things don't go his way, he gets very, very ANGRY.
About the Author
Rob Starling began doodling creatures and characters at school and hasn't stopped since. He lives and works in Wiltshire, and when he's not sketching up new characters or writing down stories he can be found sculpting, brewing coffee, adjusting his headphones or foraging in the kitchen for cake. Fergal is Fuming, which was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Award, was his first book.
