A dragon finds a different kind of treasure

Ember’s small stature and unthreatening roar set him apart from the dragons around him, leaving him worried about building a proper hoard. A chance meeting with a baker shifts the story toward work, treats, and a new idea of what gold is worth. The picture book pairs a fantasy creature with a bakery setting, using Ember’s changing fortunes to explore earning and sharing. Its 48-page format and dragon-and-bakery premise make the story easy to introduce as a read-aloud for young children.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy dragons and magical creatures
  • Young listeners who like stories involving baking, treats, and generosity
  • Families seeking a picture book to share aloud

Book overview

NATIONAL BESTSELLER - The heroic tale of a tiny dragon with a heart of gold and a taste for treats! A scrumptious picture book for fans of funny fairytales and fantastic beasts.

Ember has always been different from the other dragons. His fearsome roar sounds more like a polite sneeze, and when he breathes fire, the villagers just pat his head and say awwww.

Ember fears he'll never collect a respectable hoard of gold until a chance encounter with a baker causes his fortunes to turn (and his stomach to grumble). As the little dragon soon discovers, the gold you make is way better than the gold you steal--and gold that is shared? That's best of all.

Magic shimmers on every page of Devin Elle Kurtz's feel-good picture book that celebrates baked goods, dragons, and generosity in equal measure. Filled with adorable illustrations, this is a perfect read aloud for bedtime or brunchtime!
