Praise for A Gold Star for Zog A New York Times Notable Book "Donaldson, the current children's laureate in Britain, is a master of witty comic rhyme and original stories with heart. Here she and Scheffler outdo themselves with the smart, funny -- dare I say, deep? -- story of a dragon in training, a princess who wants to be a doctor and a knight who could use a bit of rescuing. The book gets a gold star too." -- New York Times "While Scheffler's characters are straight out of fantasy, they exude a sweet, down-to-earth quality that makes them instantly sympathetic. Readers will get a kick out of the genial self-awareness in his cartooning -- on almost every spread, a character glances at the audience as if to say, 'Can you believe this?'" -- Publishers Weekly "A delightful new twist on happily-ever-after." --School Library Journal

Meet the Flying Doctors:

Princess Pearl, Sir Gadabout and, of course, their trusty 'air ambulance', Zog the dragon, in this fabulously original sequel to the bestselling ZOG.

There's much to do, as they fly around tending a sunburnt mermaid, a distressed unicorn and a sneezy lion.

But should princesses really be doctors?

Pearl's uncle, the King, doesn't think so - until he himself falls ill, and only Pearl knows how to cure him.
