A Poor Excuse for a Dragon (Step Into Reading, Step 4)

Fred the dragon has a list of tasks he must complete in order to be a successful dragon - none of which comes naturally. But he's determined to make #5 - eat people - work. Before you can say "pass the salt" he's gobbled up three people even though he doesn't have the stomach for it. Luckily a local shepherd, with the help of a giant and a witch, knows how to cure what ails him and get those pesky people out of his belly. It's happily-ever-after for everyone in ways you'd never expect.
