Synopsis

A lonely baby dragon, adorned with pink polka dots, searches the night for someone to love and cuddle him. He approaches a witch, a knight, a princess, and even a fairy, but each one flees in fear. Just as despair sets in, his mother arrives, embracing him warmly and ensuring he sleeps soundly. This heartwarming tale, told in rhythmic verse, is beautifully complemented by whimsical pastel illustrations, making it a delightful bedtime read.
