A hilarious counting book about one drowsy dragon who wants to sleep . . . but his little dragons are being way too noisy and have way too much energy!

One drowsy dragon is trying to get some sleep, but his ten little dragons want to have fun instead. Five are playing with their toys, six are making milk shakes, and seven are watching scary shows on TV. Find out what a drowsy has to do to catch some ZZZZZZs in this rolicking counting book.

Ok, now I'm usually not impressed when the art is of the same quality that the children reading the book are capable of doing, but...somehow in this book it just works. That poor drowsy dragon, you can just see the bags under his eyes and his desperation to get some rest just comes right off the page. I was impressed with the rhyhming and the use of different words to describe the drowsy/angry/weary/groggy/etc dragon, so not only do you learn to count you also learn to expand your vocabulary. For what amounts to a very silly book, I couldn't help but smile as I read it.
