High, high up, past the clouds and near the stars, sits the Star-Dust School. It is a very special place. Can you guess why? Because inside the playground, gravity has gone on a long, long holiday! Everything floats. Everything drifts. Fwoosh! Everything is soft.
Here comes Zog. Zog is a big, round, green dragon with tiny wings that go flutter-flutter-flutter. He has emerald scales that shine like jewels and two little orange horns as soft as velvet. Zog is very happy today. Why? Because it is time to play hide-and-seek with his best friends, the Tiny-Bots. The Tiny-Bots are small and shiny. Ping! Beep! Boop! They spin in the air like little silver tops.
'One, two, three... ready or not, here we come!' beeped the Tiny-Bots. Zog had to find a place to hide. But oh dear, hiding is hard when you are a big, bouncy dragon! Zog tried to hide behind a fluffy white moon-cloud. But his long, green tail wiggled out from the bottom. Bloop! The Tiny-Bots found him. 'We see you, Zog!' they sang with a happy whirrr.
Next, Zog tried to squeeze inside a giant, shimmering bubble. He tucked in his toes. He tucked in his nose. But Zog was just too bouncy. Pop! The bubble went away, and there was Zog, floating in the middle of the room. 'Found you again!' laughed the Tiny-Bots. Zog gave a little sigh. He felt a bit too big. He felt a bit too green. Where could a dragon hide in a world of little robots?
Suddenly—Whoosh!—the Bubble-Maker 3000 turned on. It sent a giant wave of soap bubbles flying into the air. Big bubbles, small bubbles, and bubbles as round as Zog’s tummy! They filled the playground like a mountain of iridescent foam. Everything turned sparkly and white.
Zog had a clever idea. He didn't need to be small. He just needed to be very, very still. Zog wiggled into the center of the bubbles and pulled his wings tight to his body. He closed his amber eyes. He stayed as quiet as a mouse. He became a secret green island in a sea of suds.
The Tiny-Bots zoomed by. Zip! They looked under the clouds. Zoom! They looked behind the chairs. 'Where is Zog?' they wondered. 'Where did our big green friend go?' They searched and searched, but all they saw were bubbles. Zog was the best hider in the whole galaxy!
Zog couldn't hold it in any longer. He felt a giggle starting in his tummy. It tickled his throat. It reached his snout. 'Roar-giggle!' Zog laughed. Bubbles flew everywhere! Pop, pop, pop! The Tiny-Bots cheered and spun in circles. Zog wasn't too big at all; he was just right for a world made of bubbles and fun. And that’s how it all turned out just right.
