Baby and Mama dragon are almost ready to settle in for the night. But Baby can't sleep until he gets a treat, so together they search for one in a beautifully detailed village. But there are so many options to choose from! Will they devour the town's magician? Eat the three musketeers? Gobble up the princess? Or maybe dine on the mean old queen?
