   * Ellie finds a tiny dragon at the supermarket and she calls him Scratch. She plays with him at home and we realise that Scratch is an imaginary friend, as her mother can’t see him. Her friends at nursery school are able to see him, but Ellie’s teacher can’t. Ellie goes to school and leaves Scratch at home, who is growing bigger alongside her. Scratch is there through the events of Ellie’s life, including birthday parties, movie watching, and sleepovers. But things change. Scratch is not as involved in the things Ellie does, and he starts to fade. He slips away, and Ellie hardly remembers when he was with her. But then it shows Little Sam leading a full-grown Scratch down the street.   * Ellie finds a tiny dragon at the supermarket and she calls him Scratch.
