This is an absolutely charming and delightful book. What
happens when a dragon tourist turns up unexpectedly at your house and comes to
stay? This handbook will ensure your scaly visitor enjoys their holiday!
Beautifully
illustrated, each page has step-by-step guidelines for looking after and
entertaining your visitor, who is a lady dragon. Step 3 is hilarious, where the
host is advised to try a human disguise for their guest to avoid accidentally
scaring anyone.
There is advice on
showing your dragon how to use the toilet, have a wash and brush their teeth.
But NEVER leave a dragon unsupervised in the bathroom!
This is a gentle
story of friendship, kindness and inclusion. Suitable for children 6+ years of
age.
