Zog (rendered on the cover and title page as ZOG) is a 2010 children's picture book by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler, about a young accident-prone dragon, named Zog, who wants to be the best student in dragon school.

Reception

Booktrust reviewing Zog, wrote "The illustrations are as vivid, imaginative and amusing as you would expect from the illustrator of The Gruffalo, with subtle details that children and adults will love. The perfectly crafted rhyming text is ideal for reading aloud. And the ambitious princess is a great touch."[1]

Zog has also been reviewed by The Wall Street Journal,[2] Booklist,[3] and the School Library Journal.[3]

In 2010, the story book won the Galaxy National Book Award.[4]

An interactive Zog-themed woodland nature trail for children was installed at Grizedale in Cumbria in 2019.[5]
