Don't LOOK! There's a Dragon In Your Book by Tom Fletcher

OH, LOOK!

THERE'S AN EGG IN YOUR BOOK!

WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T...

... turn the page...? But it's a BOOK! What else are you going to do with it!

What hatches out of that egg! A soft baby chick? A fuzzy yellow duckie?

Of course not. That's for your usual story book. After all, there's a dead giveaway on the cover!

Yes--! What did you expect?

THERE'S A DRAGON IN YOUR BOOK!

But if you tickle this cute little dragon, something unexpected happens. He sneezes with a huge AACHOOOO! That's not an unusual thing for a sneeze, but what happens if you turn the next page?

The sneeze turns into a flame, and then a fierce fireball which even scorches the edges of the pages!

What to do to stop the dragon's fire? Turning the page doesn't stamp it out, no matter how hard you pound the page!

What hyper-amazing super power does the young reader have to stop this literary conflagration?

IMAGINATION!

And that's where the fun begins, as water balloons and ice cream cones and all sorts of cool fire-discouraging things appear to quench that little dragon's pyrotechnical tendencies to incinerate whatever is before him, in Tom Fletcher's brand-new There's a Dragon in Your Book (Random House, 2018), artfully enlivened by the cutest of little dragons in the illustrations of Greg Abbott. In this metafictional encounter with a fire-breathing dragonlet, youngsters can have lots of fun quelling, quenching, and quashing the fire-breathing propensities of this charming little critter, all in the spirit of Herve Tullett's now mega-famous metabook, Press Here (read review here).

Share this one with Fletcher's first book, There's a Monster in Your Book (review here) for more meta-fun!
