Theo doesn‘t believe his eyes as he finds Drafunkel the little dragon in the forest. The dragon soon learns to talk and teaches Theo to breathe fire. And that is highly helpful, too, as the two set out to find Drafunkel‘s mother and have to brave many dangers on their way.

- one story sub-divided in several chapters, read by a child and a grown-up together - the texts work like a role-play: the children read the part of the protagonist, while the grown-up reads the other characters as well as the voice-over - the texts differ in font, layout and extent, adapted to the children‘s needs - generous and colourful illustrations are immersed in the text: larger ones in the part of the grown-ups, and vignettes and smaller illustrations in the part of the grown-ups which help the children to follow the grown-ups‘ text - ideal for parents and grand-parents who want to assist in the process of learning to read
