Read this morning at work while waiting on a few things. Very basic story but it's got a lovely flow and it's easy and enjoyable. I can imagine little kiddies really getting a kick out of this boy changing into a dragon.

Loved the illustrations as well :)

Clever, witty tale about dragons and chaos. Dragon loving daughter thought it brillant.

My boys loved it ... anything with a dragon is a winner. Good concept ... my boys got it quick. I think I needed a bit more or a summary at the end .. it seemd a bit abrupt/hanging.

What a wonderous book, the author really brings the reader into the world of a child, as they play between reality and fantasy. Captivating illustrations keep the conversation busy and the book draws out with long chats about what is happening in each page. An absolute delight and a must read for any child whose life is filled with being a dragon and a kid!

There's 'boy mode' and then there's 'dragon mode'.

A boy describes how he feels when he's in different modes and how people react to him.

A great book for exploring with kids there different emotional responses to the world around them.

This book is so much fun. Such a simple way to describe children who struggle staying in one mode and don't have another way to describe how they are feeling.
