GARDEN CITY, N.Y. - Jan. 25, 2017 - PRLog -- From Katharine Holabird, author of the classic children's book series Angelina Ballerina, comes a brand-new show for all who love fairies, dragons and fun!

The show is recommended for children ages 2–8 and their families.

In Twinkle Tames a Dragon, Twinkle is thrilled when Fairy Godmother grants her wish for a pet. But when she gets Scruffy, a very naughty dragon, instead of a cute little pet like her friends, Twinkle must work very hard to tame her dragon in time for Fairy Pet Day.
