Caryl has done it again and captured the essence of how children feel. It is another dragon rhyming picture book success. We are so happy to have added this edition to our bookshelf.

Caryl Hart always manages to hit exactly the right notes with her writing, and this story is no exception. Paired with Rosalind Beardshaw’s warm illustrations, it’s a perfect reflection of family life and those behaviours we strive towards.
