Having a pet like Archie is a wonderful adventure. He is fun, sweet and playful-and regularly misunderstood. This clever and engaging story is told in playful rhyme-each line beginning with the next letter of the alphabet. In between those pages, we see Archie behind-the-scenes, making a friend (out of a kit), creating art, crying, eating popcorn and playing music-all the things you don't expect a dragon to do! The illustrations include lots of opportunity to play 'find a word beginning with?' and other alphabet-related games, supporting the learning while adding to the funny narrative and increasing interest for young readers. Well-timed for young fans of How To Train Your Dragon (live action movie releasing June 2025), this is an entertaining read-aloud story with amazing illustrations by illustrator Tamlyn Teow.
