When a dragon comes to stay, will she behave herself? Why, of course she will. Obviously she knows she must share her toys and skip happily upstairs at bathtime. Well... not quite. Like all toddlers, this little dragon finds good manners a tiny bit tricky. It's lucky she has some friends to help her... she is a DRAGON after all!

This delightful rhyming story is full of recognisable pre-school behaviour, and is part of a series that includes When a Dragon Comes to Stay and When a Dragon Meets a Baby.
