Charlie Dragon's year round sleep is hard to understand: he sleeps through Christmas, Easter, summer, his birthday, Hallowe'en. Only the combined efforts of all the animals of the jungle wake him up on November 5th so that he can light the bonfire. And then we discover why he sleeps so long - after all you'd be tired if you had to celebrate bonfire night, Christmas, Easter and your birthday all one the same day. A nicely patterned predictable text and fun-filled illustrations make this a good bet for learner readers.
