When a Dragon Moves In

"""Masterfully lit fish-eyed views, fur, fangs, claws and interesting perspectives make seven monsters just scary enough.... Stunningly gorgeous...."" Mark and Andrea, Just One More Book.com podcast. ""Moore has a light, sure touch, and she gives McWilliam (I Need My Monster) plenty of room to exercise his considerable gifts for operatic expressiveness and expertly choreographed physical humor."" --Publishers Weekly (March 14, 2011) ""Dramatic in perspective, McWilliam's exaggerated, digitally colored art renders the monsters in a spectrum of neon hues and outlandish shapes."" --Publishers Weekly on I Need My Monster ""Moore's heartfelt and humorous text paired with McWilliam's bright and vivid cartoon-styled illustrations are a wonderful blend. Readers young and old will love following the main character and his pet dragon....This series is a wonderful addition to any school or home library collection!"" -- Heather Macht, SeasonsOfKidLit.com ""The delightfully humorous fantasy introduces the enthusiastic sand architect and the happy, fire-belching dragon on the jacket. . . . The cartoony scenes contrast the usual activities of the family with the imaginary but plausible behavior of the playful dragon."" --Children's Literature (May 8, 2011) ""This book is an absolute hoot! The storyline is appealing -- especially to kids ... It's a book that a grandparent -- or parent -- will not tire of reading over, and over, and over to kids ... I can't recommend it enough!""--Nina Lewis, Grandma Ideas blog ""This delightful picture book is the perfect summer read or for those winter days when you're dreaming of warmer weather. The endearing tale about friendship, humor, and the power of the imagination will transport you to the sunny, hot seaside, and leave you laughing and delightfully charmed.""--The Picture Book Pages blog ""This sequel is SO much fun! Any kid who has had a younger sibling will find this one so funny!!! (And truly, all kids find it funny!) ...
