Dragon's Dinner
Deep in the woods, in a cave inky black, a yellow-eyed dragon fancies a snack.
But when he tries to gobble up Grizzly Bear, munch on Fox and crunch on Owl, someone very small, with a teeny-tiny SQUEAK, spoils his dinner plans!
This is a very funny, rhyming book with a cumulative line of chasing animals that kids will love.

Nursery World
"A winning combination of excellent rhyming text and illustrations."
5 to 7 Educator (Nicola Cooke)
"An enchanting, modern twist of a classic moral tale. This rhyming story, coupled with the beautiful illustrations, provides an exciting and enthralling read for KS1 children and younger."
Keith Dudhnath, The Bookbag
"There's plenty to like about Dragon's Dinner: children will love the big, (not too) scary dragon, and then the cute little mouse giving the dragon his comeuppance. There's enough jollity and silliness to have everyone sniggering along. Dragons are always great, and this one is no exception, snorting smoke with brightly coloured skin, sharp fangs and claws. The other animals look excellent as they scamper through the forest, scared out of their tiny little minds. Our heroic little mouse that roared is a great role model as well. "
Carousel (Nicholas Tucker)
"Lynne Chapman's pictures practically breath fire on the page, making this a warming book in every way."
School Librarian (Irene Babsky)
"A beautifully conceived storybook, clearly and wittily written. The illustrations really enhance the story and bring great liveliness and colour to the book.
Witty and warm enough to share one to one, bold enough to be shared with a group, challenging enough to be used as an 'early reader'. A most enjoyable picture book for children between 3 and 9 years."
