Format:Paperback
from the HOPSCOTCH book series.
From the back cover:-
'Mabel has a problem: her dragon has no manners!
He picks at his food, he moans about his drinks and he never washes up!
Can Mabel teach him to be more polite?'
32 high quality shiny pages in the popular 2-page spread format.
Numbered pages with clear, easy-to-follow text.
Beautifully illustrated throughout, this delightful book is further enhanced by relevant facial expressions and a rhyming element.
Example of text:-
`When Mabel's dragon came for tea
Each afternoon at half past three,
He'd sniff and turn his long nose up
At apple juice poured in his cup.
He'd sulk and look down at his feet,
When given beans with cold roast meat.
He got so cross, one salad day:
"Rabbit food! Take it away!".....'
But when it is Mabel's turn to get cross, she teaches her dragon a valuable lesson and there is a dramatic change in his behaviour!
`HOPSCOTCH has been specially designed to fit the requirements of the National Literacy Strategy. It offers real books by top authors and illustrators for children developing their reading skills.'
There are a number of `HOPSCOTCH' stories to choose from and these are listed on the very last page.

I got this book as my daughter loves dragons, it's not increadibly dragonish, but it's good fun, with lovely rhyming prose.
An added bonus is that it has struck a chord with my little girl who can be a fussy eater, and now realises that mummy does quite a bit to make her meals, and if we're having a tricky meal we'll wheel this one out and amazingly dinner disappears!
