About the Book

"What's more perfect than a day on the sofa while the rain patters on the windows? I'm just settling down with books, cocoa, and my long-haired dachshund when the doorbell rings.

After rejecting all the usual places, Fred sweeps us off through the storm to a world of floating pagoda bathrooms."--Publisher description.

Book Synopsis

What's more perfect than a day on the sofa while the rain patters on the windows?

I'm just settling down with books, cocoa, and my long-haired dachshund, when the doorbell rings. It's Fred the dragon, hoping to use the bathroom. There's nowhere suitable for a fastidious dragon. After rejecting all the usual places, Fred sweeps us off through the storm to a magical world of floating pagoda bathrooms.

Every beguiling detail in these illustrations evokes the snuggle of a cozy, rainy day in a funny story that addresses the very necessary question of where dragons go when they need to go.

Review Quotes

"Beautifully illustrated in a way that doesn't just invoke dreary rainy afternoons, with water stains and colors that blend together at the edges but will also remind readers of a kind of comfortable lethargy that can cover a town or neighborhood on drizzly days."--Booklist
