Reach for this book when your child is resisting the transition to sleep or feeling a bit overwhelmed by the 'bigness' of their daytime emotions. This story follows a young boy who uses kindness and routine to help fierce, fire-breathing dragons settle down for the night. By reframing the 'scary' dragon as a creature that just needs a snack and a cuddle, it mirrors the child's own need for comfort and security. It is an ideal choice for toddlers and preschoolers (ages 2 to 5) because it validates their sense of adventure while gently steering them toward a calm, sleepy state. Parents will appreciate how it models empathy and caretaking, turning the bedtime power struggle into a shared imaginative mission.
