Description

Age range 7+ Beneath the western mountains, on the open plains of the high Monaro where the skies are blue and big, there lived a little dragon lizard. Timpo is the smartest, best-disguised lizard in Narrawallee, the Big Grass Country. Wolfie the spider is his good friend, but there are no other dragon lizards and he is lonely for his own kind. Timpo and Wolfie embark on a journey to discover if Timpo is indeed the last dragon left in the valley. Through a landscape of grassland, granite boulders, shiny snow gums, and shady creeks they search, encountering new friends but also facing grave danger. Wolfie must return home with her spiderlings, but Timpo trudges on ... will he ever find another dragon lizard? Featuring stunning artwork in ink and graphite by artist Mandy Foot, and an author's essay on the Monaro Grassland Earless Dragon and its grassland habitat, this is a book that will have crossover appeal as a gift book for adults.
