    From the #1 New York Times bestselling creators of Grumpy Monkey comes a new character – part dragon, part dog, ALL FIERCE – in this hilarious, fire-snorting fantasy that celebrates friendship, courage, and the many forms fierceness (and fluffiness) can take.

    When the evil wizard Simpkin Sowerbutts attempts to create a dragon as loyal as a dog and instead spawns a dog as fierce as a dragon, he banishes his embarrassing and so fluffy creation.

    Outcast and alone, Dragon Dog roams the land looking for a home only to find foes around every corner. But Dragon Dog prides himself on being fierce - like a dragon - and defeats all who challenge him. Soon everyone in the land of Quatsch is afraid of him.   

    Everyone except a lost little lamb named Dandelion.

    Dragon Dog help his new friend find her way back to her flock, and Dandelion helps Dragon Dog embrace his fluffy side and find a place to call home. 

    Oh yeah, and along the way they narrowly escape the jaws of the biggest, meanest dragon around.

    An exciting and silly fantasy that shows readers we can be both fierce AND fluffy.
    Suzanne Lang is the author of the New York Times bestselling Grumpy Monkey, as well as several other titles. When Suzanne is not working on books, she writes and produces children’s television. View titles by Suzanne Lang

    "A fun and lively story about belonging, with a main character children will find chaotic and charming." —School Library Journal

    "The wisecracking, dialogue-driven narrative piles on the giggles....with fully rendered images that tip their hat to fantasy tropes. With a goofy and resolutely nonrestrictive takeaway—'I’m fierce and I’m fluffy!'—this is a very good boy of a book." —Publishers Weekly
