|summary=George is back, and this time he's looking for a dragon! He's taking a box of doughtnuts with him too, because what else would a young hero eat? If I were you, I'd grab a doughnut of your own and go along in his adventure with him, you never know what you might find.

''Doughnuts for a Dragon'' does pretty much what it says on the tin, with George heading off on a mission to find a dragon. In [[Marshmallows for Martians by Lee Wildish, Adam Guillain and Charlotte Guillain|Marshmallows for Martians]] he built himself a spaceship in order to hunt for extraterrestrial life, but this time his plan requires a time machine - I mean, how else are you going to find a Dragon?
The illustrations are just as good as last time, full of intricacies and each page packed with so many details that you can easily spend a long, long time reading the book as a whole. George is a really likeable young character in whatever his adventure, and this one is an adventure and a half. He meets ogres and witches on his way, and the story feels just as packed in as the illustrations.
I think the idea of the whole series is a great one, as it gives scope to the authors for a wide range of books without getting stuck in a particular rut, with the possibilities for settings and stories being endless. I think these books have a wonderfully warm and family-friendly feel to them, and I really enjoy reading them with my son, who at this point thinks that he is George, battling ogres to find dragons and, if he gets his way, eat endless doughnuts.
I think the way the publishers have utilized the insides of the front and back covers to make them a part of the book is great, making the whole book feel well used and busy for young readers, and it’s also a great way to advertise the next in the series. That being said, I look forward to seeing what George gets up to next when he stars in Pizza for Pirates!
If you've missed the others in the series, then you could do worse than having a look at [[Marshmallows for Martians by Lee Wildish, Adam Guillain and Charlotte Guillain]].
