Princess Alice has lost her very precious blankie, and she must find it before bedtime! But her brother doesn't have it, and neither do the giant or the witch. Finally Alice discovers her special snuggly in the arms of a sleepy dragon. But he looks so sad when she takes it back that she knows she must find something just as cozy, soft, and warm for him to cuddle. But what could that be?
This delightful story about a lost lovey — and compassion for another creature who wants the same comfort — will speak to any child who knows what it's like to search desperately for their special stuffie or blanket. Alice's kind response will charm adult readers, while children will love the resulting friendship between the pair!
"The dragon grows increasingly weepy, but he won’t snuggle with the witch’s 'far too scratchy' cat, the giant’s feather pillow (it makes him sneeze), or Jack’s stinky socks. What can Alice do? A thorough search of the palace finally yields the dragon’s perfect snuggly and earns Alice a lifelong friend and protector. Muted mixed-media cartoon illustrations create rich backstories for each character combined with a sophisticated, smoothly reading rhyme scheme to produce a fast-moving friendship story that problem-solving young children will appreciate." — Kirkus reviews
