The Littlest Dragon

by Margaret Ryan, Jamie Smith

The Littlest Dragon is known as Number 10. He is the youngest in a family of ten dragon brothers and they all sleep in one big dragon bed. The Littlest Dragon has to come up with the best and brightest way to get a good night's sleep. In the second story, the big dragon brothers won't let The Littlest Dragon play soccer with them, so he has to be resourceful and get his own kit together and persuade Mom to take him. He manages to come up with an idea which wins the praise of the most famous footballing dragon, Dragon McFeet, and gets to keep his winning jersey, much to the disgust of his brothers.

[Neeko · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much nostalgia re-reading this short book from childhood!

[Mairéad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Two light hearted, humourous stories sure to appeal to developing readers aged 7+ who enjoy fantastical tales about a triumphant underdog (or dragon!)

I know I'm biased in favour of dragonny things, but this was ridiculously cute. ;)
