First we find a Dragon, roaring and flying, swishing her tail and making fire!

“Because that’s what Dragons do.”

But someone else arrives, stopping the dragon’s fire!

“Hey! What did you do that for!”

This character has her own fun things of showing who she really is. But…. along comes someone even more spectacular!

Glittery, flowery and Wow!

Again and again, another character arrives to steal the show, take the attention and show their stuff.

Far out Zippy, zap! Then all is revealed. Sisters are imagining together before bedtime, relishing in the noises of their characters and all the actions too.

Dad has the final say, calming them, tucking them in, and kissing goodnight.

Absolutely adorable! I love this picture book! The illustrations burst off the page, showing the explosions and energy of imagination the two girls have as they invent one character after another to over ride the one before.

Reading this before bedtime will be so much fun, even if a little time might be needed to calm littlies down again. Sounding out the noises and performing the actions of the characters will be easy and imaginations broadened along the way. Book design is spot on, with repetition and alliteration. 

The final words of the book are wonderful too.

Wish I’d found this sooner!
