Synopsis
The girl and dragon who became best friends in Lovabye Dragon find each other again in this second oh-so-sweet tale.
In a game of hide-and-seek, Girl wanders too far. Dragon looks everywhere—every here, every there—but Girl is lost. Alone in the woods, she tries hard not to cry, but the silver tears come anyway. Then, with the special connection between truly devoted, very special friends, Dragon hears the beating of her trembly heart. With his bright dragon fire, he lights up the night, shining the way to a delightful reunion. “Evermore, evermore, I am here,” he assures her. Any child frightened by the night or feeling a tad lonely will relish the feeling of being wrapped in the protective wings of friendship.

From School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 2—The warm friendship that Girl and Dragon established in Joosse's Lovabye Dragon (Candlewick, 2012) deepens as the two play hide-and-seek. First Dragon hides, curling his "Drag-enormo self" behind "a little rock/such a very little rock." Amused readers will spot his huge bulk immediately. But Girl can't find him, even from her perch up a tree, until he reveals himself with a resounding "BOO!" Then Girl takes her turn and runs far away into a "hidey-hole place" where Dragon can't find her. Time passes, night falls with its scary "moaning," "groaning" sounds, and though she tries to be brave, Girl cries "worry worry tears." But never fear. Special friend that he is, Dragon hears her cries, brightens the night sky with his fire, and flies to her rescue. "Evermore, evermore, I am here," he rumbles as the forever friends embrace. The muted palette and tiny brush strokes employed in Cecil's oil paintings exude warmth and are a perfect backdrop for the loving relationship. The poetic text with its coined words and just-right repetition makes for a delightful read-aloud for storytime and friendship units. VERDICT Fans of the first book will welcome the chance to read about these two friends again.—Marianne Saccardi, Children's Literature Consultant, Greenwich, CT
