THE LITTLEST DRAGON STORIES

With nine older dragon brothers, life is never easy for Dragon Number 10. Will there ever be soccer attire for him or a chance to have the toy from the cereal box or the satisfaction of special attention? After an initial period of despair in each of the episodes, Number 10 uses his wits craftily and manages to have the last laugh. Sophie Aldred shines as she brings the dragon family to life. She whines irritatingly, delivers a cold shoulder icily, and spices the jaunty retorts of the Dragon twins or a visiting relative. Best of all, Aldred voices the determination of the hero and underscores the repetition in his steps to triumph. A.R. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 06]
