"When a Dragon Comes to Stay" by Caryl Hart and Rosalind Beardshaw (Nosy Crow)
These noble beasts have impeccable manners but just like humans, their tiddly toddlers aren't always able to maintain their politeness or good behaviour.
"When a Dragon Comes to Stay" by Caryl Hart and Rosalind Beardshaw humorously examines what it would be like to host a sleepover for a scaly mythical beast.
Will the littlest dragon behave herself?
Why, of course she will. Obviously she knows she must share her toys, eat daintily and skip happily upstairs at bathtime.
Well . . . not quite. Like all toddlers, this little dragon finds good manners a tiny bit tricky. It's lucky she has some friends to help her.
A great little story for tiny book fans who love dragons and brushing up their etiquette!
Sum this book up in a sentence: A lovely bedtime story with a cute central character trying hard to behave nicely at a sleepover (all adults are probably imagining horrific past scenarios where they've attempted to do the same with normal human kids rather than dragons, to disastrous effect!)
"When a Dragon Comes to Stay" by Caryl Hart and Rosalind Beardshaw is out now, published by Nosy Crow (very kindly supplied for review).
