It's no secret that I enjoy Emily Gravett's books, it's just that some are better for reading aloud than others. This is one of those.
The whole premise is about a parent (dragon) reading aloud a bedtime story to the little one again...and again...and again! I wont give away the delightful and slightly startling ending as one tired, cranky little dragon doesn't get its way.
I read it out loud to my 2 story-time groups this week and they loved it. You can have a lot of fun with just one simple word and your voice & body language.
I suspect I will be reading this book again!
Admittedly, it wasn't quite the ending I was hoping for, but I still got a laugh out of the book.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping to see more of Cedric, he and his mum seem like such loveable characters!
