Coltale's Adventures - stories featuring Coltale the Dragon
Coltale's Adventures was the first collection of short stories written in 2021 by children living in the City of London.
“Where shall I go today, and what should I do?” Coltale, the dragon, can travel anywhere he wants to go. He is a friendly dragon but people are often scared when they see him. Why? Because dragons breathe fire! And fire can hurt people. Coltale doesn’t want to hurt anyone. In fact, he only wants to make friends and help everyone he meets.
Follow Coltale and his friends on his exciting adventures with these short stories… written by children just like you!
We have produced the first collection as an audiobook. We've uploaded Chapter 4 below to get you started!
Our second book, published in December 2022, is called “The Further Adventures of Coltale the Dragon”. These are further stories inspired by the children of the City of London.
Our third publication released 12 months later was entitled “A Year with Coltale the Dragon”. This book supports family learning and is filled with home learning ideas inspired by the staff and parents who work for City of London libraries, authority, schools, and Early Years settings. It includes learning about sharks, singing new rhymes, early science, talking about the environment, and mathematical puzzles!
These books are available in the downloads section below.
Each week we provide Coltale Tops Tips, Makaton, and Rhyme Time videos on our social media channels to support your child’s learning. You watch these videos HERE or on our YouTube channel.
