And the human characters are superbly diverse and engaging. There’s an adorable cast of characters, including charming little mice, scampering over the pages. Samara Hardy’s illustrations are magical.

Schulze has a way with pacing that helps lull tiny tyrannical dragons children to sleep. Perfectly paced, DON’T WAKE THE DRAGON starts the story on a rambunctious note but works its way down to a smooth, calm ending that will tuck little readers right into bed. Talented debut picture book author Bianca Schulze’s story dances off the page, inviting young readers to join in the zany world of Dragon’s castle. Children will sing, dance, and interact with the sweetest burnt-red Dragon around. This delightfully fun story is ready for bedtime. So what’s to be done when Dragon wakes up? Why, sing a well-loved Dragon lullaby, of course! You’ll be singing Happy Birthday, dancing a Knightly-jig, and interrupting all the mayhem by tapping on the drum with your little one as readers try – and fail! – to keep the noise down and Dragon fast asleep.

It is bedtime in the castle, and Dragon is snoozing peacefully. Shh! Get ready for quiet (and not so quiet!) fun with DON’T WAKE THE DRAGON!
