Sleeping Dragons All Around

Reach for this book when the shadows in your child's bedroom start to feel a little too lively, or when a simple trip to the kitchen for a glass of water feels like a daunting trek through the dark. Sheree Fitch uses masterfully crafted nonsense verse to transform the scary stillness of a sleeping house into a vibrant, imaginative landscape where dragons are not monsters to be feared, but slumbering obstacles to be navigated with care. This rhythmic adventure follows a young girl's midnight journey through her home, where every floorboard creak is a dragon's snore. It effectively reframes nighttime anxiety into a game of bravery and wit. The story celebrates the power of a child's imagination to conquer fear through humor and play. It is an ideal choice for building confidence in preschoolers and early elementary students who are navigating the transition to sleeping alone or managing common nighttime phobias. It provides comfort by showing that while the house is dark, it is also a place of magic and safety.
