This is the ideal story if your child is facing a new au pair or child minder and shows signs of concern. When Mummy Dragon gets a job as fire-lighter in nearby volcanoes, little Crossfire and his baby brother, Puffing Billy, have to get used to the new au pair Smokescreen. She breathes green smoke and talks differently, and Crossfire is convinced that she will never be able to tickle his tail and play I Fry with him like mum does. But Smokescreen has some amazing new talents, and the two small dragons are soon enjoying her different ways. When Smokescreen has to leave, they are bereft, but soon learn to accept the new child minder, Bonfire. The original text and super pictures, full of texture and colour, will have instant appeal to children and parents alike.
