A Dragon in the Fire and other Rhymes Laura Merrill

Zebras, dragons, toenails and toast: there is something for everyone in this collection of fun children's poems, written and illustrated by Laura Merrill. "A Dragon in the Fire and Other Rhymes" stokes the imagination to read together, make the mundane magical; and the everyday, an adventure.




Laura Merrill's poems are for children and for the child inside us. Nonsense rhymes to enjoy together as we revel in the small pleasures and the little things in life that matter. Sometimes a little bit wicked, sometimes full of fairytales and wonder, sometimes a poem to help get the job done. Always with kindness, humour and fun. If you like a dippy egg, if you have a stair of despair, if you have ever walked to school, or if you brush your teeth, then this book is for you!
