When the new boy turned up at the kindergarten, even Mrs. Genia was surprised. Well, how come? Has anyone heard of a child wearing a bowler hat, a walking stick and a jacket? As if that wasn’t enough, he arrived on a huge dog; in his pocket he had something resembling a cat, and it was called Frenchy Fries. Well, then it all started! A sausage squeezes out of the toothpaste tube, chalk writes on the board all by itself, bubbles of soap come out of mouths instead of words, dogs and cats blow smoke from their noses, and chatterboxes fall silent. A strange boy indeed! Besides being a friend of the dragons (he knows two hundred and sixteen in all), he can also cast spells and help children: sad, lumpish, shy, even the malicious or the smart-alecks.
