Winnie`s Midnight Dragon

It`s just after midnight. Winnie has gone to bed and is snoring peacefully when Wilbur is woken by a strange noise. He goes downstai rs to investigate and, to his horror, discovers a baby dragon squeezing through his cat-flap! Wilbur is not impressed by the scaly v isitor, especially when it starts chasing him around Winnie`s house. But the baby dragon just wants to play and, in his exuberance, manages to topple a grandfather clock and knock over a suit of armour. All the clattering wakes Winnie and she`s not happy about a b aby dragon in her house, either. After all, there are puffs of smoke coming out of his nose and he might start a fire. So Winnie use s a little magic to turn the smoke into . . . a cloud of butterflies. This makes Wilbur feel better, he loves chasing butterflies! T his story is full of noisy antics: clanging clocks, clattering armour, crashing crockery and the sound of dragon wings beating are j ust some of the wonderful additions to the narration of ?Winnie`s Midnight? Dragon on the accompanying audio CD.
