I thought you might like to know how the book Don’t you Dare, Dragon! was created.

It’s an interesting journey, probably more complicated than you think!

 Love lost and found

You must have heard of the lady who had 23 sons and named each one ‘Dave’; or the man who crawled around his floorless room; or the octopus who woke up to an alarm-clocktopus; or the puffin who lived in a muffin? Well, if you haven’t, dip into a book called Pumpkin Grumpkin, a collection of nonsense poems from around the world and you’ll be sure to find them.
