A leading children's author was told to drop a fire-breathing dragon shown in a new book - because the publishers feared they could be sued under health and safety regulations.

It is just one of the politically correct cuts Lindsey Gardiner says she has been told to make in case youngsters act out the stories.

As well as the scene showing her dragon toasting marshmallows with his breath, illustrations of an electric cooker with one element glowing red and of a boy on a ladder have had to go.

Heaven forbid! Children might try breathing fire. Source.

Damn does this mean we're going to have to let the Fashionising dragon go?

He can be a bit of a hazard around the office... especially when he gets a cold and starts sneezing.

That's cruel Allan and Tania. I do read the forums too you know :(

LOL -Daniel I think you just dug a hole for yourself on that one.

This whole dragon thing is crap...that means I can't go with my idea of having a dragon involved in future shoots :( *is sad*

omg we cant show climbing ladders anymore? does this mean PG ratings on make-over shows incase kids try to climb ladders or, heaven forbid, use a hammer? and cookign shows, incase they try to turn on a stove. and OMG bye bye Bob the Builder too! and any show that depicts a kid underwater. and and and
