What is Thomas and the dragon about?
One dark night, Percy is surprised to see Thomas with a strange dragon. The shadowy figure gives Percy quite a fright, and he is not pleased with Thomas at all. When daylight arrives, Thomas explains what really happened, revealing that the dragon may not be quite as frightening as Percy first thought. With a little misunderstanding, a touch of mystery and plenty of steam-train fun, Percy learns that things can look very different in the dark.
