A fun and dragon-filled countdown of numbers 10 through 1

Mama Dragon is tending to ten colorful eggs, and she needs our help to hatch them all! Shim-shim-shimmy shout! Baby draglings, please come out! Count down from ten with Mama Dragon as each of her draglings jiggles, thumps, and KER-ACKS their way into the world.
 
Young readers will delight in meeting each little dragling as they hatch. Portrayed with plenty of personality and humor, this is a perfect pick for celebrating parent-child relationships while learning about color, numbers, and ordinal vocabulary. The book's lively refrain is sure to inspire many spirited story times.
