Whilst asleep beneath a tree, Baffin, a young dragonasaurus, is woken by the great roar of his friend Dex; his idea of fun being, to sneak up on his pals and make them jump. Baffin, like all the other dragonasaurus, is becoming rather fed up of Dex, and resolves to teach him a lesson. The final straw for Baffin had been when Dex had jumped out on his little sister Floss and made her cry.
"Baffin decided, "Enough is enough.
It's clearly time someone got tough.
I think it might be time to fix,
naughty Dex with his frightening tricks.""
Baffin develops a master plan to lure Dex into a nearby cave and scare him. What follows surprises and frightens them both.
Josephine Young has taken two all-time children's favourites, the dragon and the dinosaur, and given us the dragonasaurus. These endearing little creatures fill the series with their captivating and comical adventures.
All the Dragonasaurus books are written in rhyme. The rhyme is excellent and works extremely well. The illustrations are cartoon-like and very colourful. The books are great fun, but quite long; so I feel younger listeners and readers may need more than one sitting. Something I very much liked was the language. It does not patronise young children, which is good. Instead it offers new words to learn in a diverting way. There is plenty of excitement throughout the stories and the endings to all are a surprise. And, of course, each tale has a message. I can definitely recommend these books to be read to or by any child. They are sweet, funny, charming, imaginative and entertaining. I hope author Josephine Young will be giving us more of these wonderful, original and well-written tales. Highly recommended!

Please note that *I received this book in a Goodreads giveaway in exchange for my honest review*
This is a lovely and fun children's book about a boy dragonasaurus named Baffin - dragonasaurus being a combination of a dragon and a dinosaur. The simple, yet very expressive, beautifully colourful cartoon-like illustrations are lovely to look at and talk about with a child while reading together, and the rhyming language is very rich and perfect for teaching new words. The story is also nice and educational - it tells us of Baffin, who just likes to play around with his family, but gets finally angry with Dex, who loves to scare all other boys and girls by jumping suddenly out and scarily roaring at them when they are playing or practicing flying etc. Baffin decided to grab an opportunity for greatly scaring him in revenge, but he doesn't know that something else is in store for both of them...
Any child who loves dragons and dinosaurs will enjoy the books in this series, and I will definitely be buying more!

This is an adorable book great for reading to younger readers. My son (11) says that the book is very colorful and he likes the how the drawings help tell the story. We agree that it is a fun book to read for a wide range of ages and reading levels. He especially likes that the characters are dragons. I like that it is a clean safe story with a theme. I received an ARC through Goodreads FirstReads Giveaways in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affected our opinion.

Serena and Kennedie's Rainy Day Seal of Approval
Read today with 3 year old Serena, and 4 year old Kennedie while it was dreary and rainy outside. Their attention was captured the entire book and they was super excited (but not wound up) by the end (which makes Grandma real happy).
