Waking Dragons



It's morning, and time for the brave young knight to wake the sleeping dragons. Fearlessly, he climbs the ladder into their bed, pulls their covers off, puts their jammies in the hamper, and brushes their teeth.  Then it's downstairs for a waffle breakfast, and off they go flying in the sky (but not before delivering the young knight to the front door of his school).  A simple story by Jane Yolen, complemented with bright, humorous, and colorful illustrations by Derek Anderson, make this book a delight for young children.  It was a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in 2013.
