Again!

by Emily Gravett

It's Cedric's the little dragon's bedtime, but before he goes to sleep, there's just enough time for mum to read him a bedtime story. Unfortunately for her, he enjoys the story so much that he wants to hear it again, and again, and again... with rather surprising consequences.

Award-winning picture book author and illustrator Emily Gravett serves up yet another witty and original book in Again!, the story of a demanding young dragon whose insistence on reading a favourite story over and over again will be only too familiar to many parents! As with many of Gravett's books, there is a playful and mischevious quality to this beautifully-illustrated story, which makes clever use of the idea of the 'book within a book' to give young readers a surprise on the final pages.
