Odd question about dragons!

For reasons that I won't bore you with, I want to buy a children's picture book, suitable to be read out loud to a 3 - 4 year old that features a dragon (preferably a red one) as one of its main characters. I'd prefer the dragon to be a friendly one! Has anyone got any suggestions about books I could use? I'd prefer to be able to buy it out here, but if I need to order it from Amazon, that's possible as well.

Thanks in advance! Hope the wise women of EW can help with such a strange request!

When a dragon moves in Cute book. Also, Who wants a dragon? It's a sweet book about a lost baby dragon, but it's kind of pink instead of red. My kids like this book. <em>edited by momof3 on 09/08/2011</em>

Thanks for the suggestions! Zog might work, but he's a bit orange! Although that's a useful fallback, and it sounds like a great book anyway! Any other suggestions?

"Zog" by Julia Donaldson (The Gruffalo et al) - Zog learns how to be a dragon, with his dragon friends with mixed results, befriends a princess in the process. Very sweet... and I think he's red.

I was going to suggest Puff the Magic Dragon but he's green...
