The Bookworm," a delightful children's book by Debi Gliori from Bloomsbury, has a cover showing a child in orange overalls opening a book with a dragon on its cover. Stars and clouds swirl around the title on a blue background, with scattered books resembling hidden treasures.
A child plays outside with an orange dragon toy and a blue fish balloon. Inside, a penguin toy sits in the fridge. The scene unfolds with a shark of imagination, blending fantasy and family dialogue reminiscent of "The Bookworm" by Bloomsbury, as if from a Debi Gliori children's tale.

The Bookworm

Max really wants a pet. His parents aren't so sure. Puppies chew, parrots screech and sharks have too many teeth. How about a dragon? Max's parents say that dragons don't exist, so Max settles for a pet worm instead. Except this particular worm turns out to be very unusual when its back begins to turn spiky and it starts to breathe smoke ...

Dragons don't exist. Do they?

A funny and light-hearted story from much-loved children's author Debi Gliori, perfect for any child who has ever wanted a pet. With an added cautionary tale about being careful what you wish for.
