+ Want to read

An enormously successful and charmingly illustrated book of poems that take the fear out of nighttime demons.

Can Melissa tiptoe past the eight sleeping dragons in her house to reach the mocha maple chocolate cake or will Ms. Lindy Lean, the fitness dragon, or Fagan, the punk dragon, get there first?
