Littlest Dragon Goes for Goal

Description

A third title about the little dragon with the big ideas! Although he's the littlest, he has the biggest and funniest ideas for getting his own way. Two more stories about the Littlest Dragon who is the tenth child in the Dragon family. With nine older brothers, No 10 has to be ever more resourceful to get what he wants. In the first story, it's Littlest Dragon's birthday. But he never gets to play with any of his birthday presents because his big brothers get there first. Fed up with this, he and his cousin Emerald hatch a plot to get them out of the way...and, as usual, he wins the day! In the second story the littlest dragon wins Dragon McFeet's football boots in a raffle -- much to his older brothers disgust. Perfect for children who are just reading on their own. There's plenty of repetition and alliteration, illustrations on every page and a lively story to follow the first two successful books.

Of The Littlest Dragon'The wisdom and realism of the theme is balanced brilliantly by sheer fun... lots of word and syntax repetition and rhythm, with the abundance of pictures, ensure success with beginner readers. Competent six-year-olds loved it.' Books for Keeps
