Our Review

This charming bedtime adventure follows dragon siblings Flicker and Flash as they embark on a nighttime rescue mission to return a lost egg to its mother, all while counting down toward sleep. The gentle rhyming text creates a soothing rhythm perfect for winding down energetic preschoolers, and the ten-minute countdown structure cleverly builds anticipation for bedtime. Young children will delight in the magical dragon world and the siblings' exciting journey through the night sky, making this fantasy story an engaging way to transition from playtime to rest.

What sets this bedtime book apart is how it transforms the familiar challenge of getting children to sleep into an imaginative adventure that acknowledges their desire for one last bit of excitement. The dragon siblings' kind-hearted mission provides just enough adventure to capture young attention spans while maintaining a calm, sleep-inducing pace. Parents of spirited children who resist bedtime will find this counting story particularly effective at channeling that final burst of energy into a shared reading experience that naturally leads to sweet dreams.
