Henriette Piggyback - Eeny Meeny Pickledy Peck, Who's Hatching from the Breakfast Egg?
Henriette Piggyback – the cheerful little witch with a great inventive spirit
Great-aunt Martha has received a huge egg in the post and is about to crack it when Henriette realises that the parcel has been delivered to the wrong address: it should actually be delivered to the Zoological Witches’ Institute, Department of Mythical Creatures. Mythical creatures?!
Suddenly the egg cracks and the shell breaks – revealing a little dragon! Henriette is delighted. Unfortunately, the cheeky dragon is full of mischief, escapes on the way to the Zoological Witches’ Institute and causes a huge mess. But then Henriette has a clever idea of how they can still reach their destination with a rubber dinghy, a picnic blanket and a fire-breathing dragon on board …
