Frivolous fun characters, reminiscent of Roald Dahl’s Twits and the like, Anne Stairmand’s books are full of kooky creations.

Just wanted to say thank you again for today. The children were truly inspired by the activities and I was very impressed with the writing produced as a result. We had lots of positive feedback from parents at our parents’ evening.

From the very beginning, I couldn’t help falling in love with this book. Not only is it funny and full of adventure, Desmond’s Dragon can also be used to help kids build their social communication skills.
