Sir Scallywag and the Deadly Dragon Poo

Our picture book of the month for July is the second hilarious Sir Scallywag story, featuring a giant sweet machine and plenty of deadly dragon poo!

Sir Scallywag is back, and he's mightier than ever!

When Baron Greedyguts steals King Colin's sweet machine, the King knows there's only one knight who can help - even if he is only six years old. Sir Scallywag and trusty steed Doofus come to the rescue in this epic tale of bravery, chivalry...and deadly dragon poo.

Following the best-selling Sir Scallywag and the Golden Underpants, sickly sweet sweets and stinky dragon poo abound in this hilarious rhyme written by award-winning Giles Andreae and brilliantly illustrated by Korky Paul, the artistic talent behind Winnie the Witch.

Giles Andreae is an award-winning children's author and has written both fiction titles and bestselling picture books, such as Pants and The Lion who Wanted to Love. He has won the Federation of Children's Book Award and the Booktrust Eary Years Award, but he is probably most famous as the creator of the phenomenally successful Purple Ronnie, Britain's favourite stickman. Giles lives in Notting Hill with his wife and four children.

Korky Paul's bright energetic style is instantly recognisable. With a string of awards to his name, including both the Kate Greenaway Award and the Red House Children's Book Award, he is best-known for his portrayal of Winnie the Witch, everyone's favourite magical mischief maker. Korky has two grown children and lives with his wife in Oxford.
