Review
The sequel to "A Gold Star for Zog" though in this story Zog the dragon is mostly just transportation for the doctors Princess Pearl and Gadabout the Great. The subtle message that girls can be more than princesses is woven into what seems like a simple adventure story about doctors who minister to any creature in trouble. When the king needs saving, Princess Pearl perseveres and saves the day. Donaldson's rhyme and Scheffler's bright, colorful illustrations are a winning combination and this book shouldn't disappoint as a read aloud.
Overall Book Score: good
