This soothing addition to the When a Dragon . . . series by award-winning creators Caryl Hart and Rosalind Beardshaw is full of recognisable pre-school behaviour.
When a dragon feels too ill to play, will she rest and try not to scratch her itchy spots Or will she stamp her feet, throw her toys and shout It's going to be hard to behave herself . . . she is a dragon after all!
