HATE TO USE THE WORD "CUTE," BUT IT WORKS WITH THIS ONE.

This is the story of a little, apparently lost, dragon who is searching for someone who wants him. Kids love this story. The author has used simple rhyme to tell his story and it is quite effective as the children can, after a few readings, recite the words along with the reader. James Mayhew has done a very nice job here and the artist, Lindsey has created some fantastic and simply fun pictures. Our little dragon travels from place to place trying to find someone who wants him, to love him and to cuddle him. It is not easy to find someone who wants a dragon setting on their lap or setting around the castle. Finally, our baby dragon finds the one person who is sure to love and take him...his mom. This is a very nice book to read a bed time and it is one that the little ones will want read over and over to them. Highly recommend this one.

This is a great story to read with your preschooler, I read it with my son and at the end he loves to say "his mommy!" Cute rhymes and illustrations are beautiful!
