Cute little dragon Poggle has bought his friend Lily a new beach ball for her birthday. But it explodes with a bang when he pumps too much air into it. What can he and friend Henry find instead? Down on the beach, they can see only seaweed, a knobbly stick and an old hat, then a very special shell comes into view. Fun language and endearing characters make this a story that children will enjoy.
