Cute story and truthful about what little ones do, waking their family up and going to slow when it's time to leave.

A family of dragons, dad, mom and little one, go through their day both together and apart.
There's some interactive possibilities here, so I thought it would get a better reaction from my toddlers and their parents, but not so much. Maybe it was just an off day for me as the leader or maybe for the parents; maybe this just works better as a one-on-one bedtime story. It could also be useful for kids just starting preschool or daycare as it provides an upbeat look at time away from parents for a toddler. I think what sort of threw me about it, is that sometimes is has rhythm and rhyme, but it drops in and out of the pattern making it a little difficult to read aloud. Illustrations are by Sally Anne Lambert and fit the story perfectly with their soft palette and charming family. Most of the illustrations are full bleed with a page of spot art and a page with a single vignette added for variety.
