‘That’s What Dragons Do’ by Raymond McGrath

That's What Dragons Do

That's What Dragons Do

Who wants to go to bed when there are adventures to be had?

RARR! I’m a dragon. I can roar! I can fly! I can swish my tail! And I can make fire in my mouth … RRAAAARRR! Because that’s what DRAGONS do!

The wild and imaginative play of two little girls before bedtime gets more and more rowdy, with everything from dragons to fire trucks to cupcake fairies and digger-dumper drivers and spaceships . . . until in comes Daddy to tuck them in and turn out the light …because that’s what DADDIES do!

Raymond McGrath’s energetic illustrations bring something unique that will appeal to all readers. This is fun to read aloud with plenty of alliteration and opportunity for loud noises, and it is perfect for the child who loves dress-ups and imaginative play.
