It's just after midnight. Winnie has gone to bed and is snoring peacefully when Wilbur is woken by a strange noise. He goes downstairs to investigate and, to his horror, discovers a baby dragon squeezing through his cat-flap! Wilbur is not impressed by the scaly visitor, especially when it starts chasing him around Winnie's house. But the baby dragon just wants to play and, in his exuberance, manages to topple a grandfather clock and knock over a suit of armour. All the clattering wakes Winnie and she's not happy about a baby dragon in her house, either. After all, there are puffs of smoke coming out of his nose and he might start a fire. So Winnie uses a little magic to turn the smoke into...a cloud of butterlies. This makes Wilbur feel better, he loves chasing butterflies! So now Winnie has a baby dragon and a cat who just want to play whereas she just wants to sleep! Winnie decides she's had enough of babysitting a dragon and goes onto the roof to look for his mother. But how will she catch the attention of a mother dragon flying past? By magicking a full moon over her house! So with mother and baby dragon reunited, Winnie and Wilbur can finally settle down for an overdue good night's sleep.

Review
Paul's artwork is as dynamic and arresting as ever. His comic touch is perfectly judged, stretching the simple story within reach of a wide age group. (The Guardian, Amazing Stories Supplement)

My children loved Winnie the Witch from the very first time they met her. Winnie and Wilbur are a humorous pair, Korky Paul's illustrations are quirky and memorable with lots of little details you spot on each re-reading so that Winnie books stand out from the crowd. This is a gentle story where a baby dragon needs to be reunited with its Mum, and in the process a cloud of pretty butterflies are released. This book is ideal if you have a fairly wary 2-4 year old for whom witches & dragons are a terrifying thought because noone could fail to be charmed by this friendly needy little night-time visitor. In addition the colour palette of the illustrations in this book seem a little softer than other Winnie books. A particularly good introduction into the Winnie books if you haven't already started collecting, and a delightful addition if you have. I don't hesitate to recommend it.

I bought this book for my 7 year old Grandson for his birthday he loves dragons and books with CD's. So he wasnt disappointed. He loves the music played throughout the story and the Cackle of Winnie.

Bought this for my daughter's 6th birthday as she loves Winnie but is too little to really enjoy the other type of Winnie books. Great story and we love the illustrations on the inside cover. Good value for money.

My daughter loves this book so I bought it for a birthday present for a friend's daughter's 2nd birthday and now she loves it too. The whole series is great and makes for a great bedtime story. Enjoy!

Bought this for my 6 year old niece who already had some of the other books from the series and her face lit up at the sight of it. Frequently requested at bedtime, this book, along with others in the series, is a firm favourite with her. She particularly likes the illustrations, the funny stories and Winnie's character.

My 3 year old daughter loves these books - we've been getting them from the library but I'd not seen this one so bought it for her. Great illustrations as in all the other books and she'll happily sit and listen again and again.

Disappointing
I loved the original Winnie the Witch book, and the follow-up - Winnie flies again - was equally delightful. I bought this book expecting it to be as good, but was disappointed. Read more
