Zog And The Flying Doctors

"Zog and the Flying Doctors" takes us on another enchanting journey with Zog, Princess Pearl, and Sir Gadabout as they soar through the skies, providing medical assistance to creatures in need. While Zog handles the flying, it's Princess Pearl who truly shines in this subversive tale. Julia Donaldson's delightful rhymes and Axel Scheffler's charming illustrations bring the story to life, captivating young readers and parents alike. From the unicorn with an extra horn, to the sunburnt mermaid each character they encounter on their journey adds depth and richness to the narrative. As the story unfolds, Princess Pearl finds herself grappling with societal expectations and the confines of her princess identity. When her uncle, the King, insists that princesses cannot be doctors, Pearl refuses to accept such limitations. Instead, she bravely asserts her independence and determination to pursue her passion for helping others. This is more than just a charming tale—it's a celebration of courage, compassion, and the power of breaking free from societal norms. Through Princess Pearl's journey, we are reminded of the importance of staying true to oneself and following one's dreams, no matter the obstacles.

Love the book

My 20 month old loves Zog and is equally obsessed with this sequel. Great set of books, nice message, and as a parent, fun to read the rhyming story out loud!

Love the original Zog book and the sequel keeps the fun going. Fun rhymes and solid storyline.

I have read this book over and over again. The grandchildren love it. It is a continuation book "Zog" . Found it in library first. Then purchased book.Fun book about understanding your place in the world and helping others.

What a great book telling kids they can be more than one thing. In this case, a Princess can also be a Doctor. The story is fun to read, Zog is a cute dragon who is great at flying but not so great at landing. The illustrations are beautiful & vivid with lots of interesting little details for your kiddo to talk about. This became a instant favorite, the first time we read it. I am definitely looking for more Zog books.

After checking out A Gold Star for Zog from the library MULTIPLE times for my grandchildren, I purchased this book for home (since the library doesn't have it). They LOVE the story and illustrations. The books are fun to read and the illustrations are always fun to look at - lots of little details that add vocabulary and interest to the story.

We love this author, and this sequel to Zog did not disappoint! I like that the story highlights kind behavior, caring for others, and accepting people for who they are.
