Description
A young boy spots sweets and treats on the kitchen table. In a classic fairy-tale quest, he imagines himself a brave hero who must outwit ferocious dragons and formidable guardians in order to partake of such a treasure. Caught and sent to the dungeon (his bedroom), the boy is surprised when the afternoon ends so unexpectantly happily. Featuring read-along narration with text highlighting.Tags

This book is very short. It probably won't take you more than two minutes to read it, even if you stop at every page and have your young child point things out.
It's written like a fantasy, involving heroes and dragons, dungeons and treasure; but the illustrations show that it's just a young boy trying to sneak his birthday treats early.
Happily, even though he *did* get a time-out for stealing his cake, he was allowed to enjoy his party anyway.
Very neatly drawn, and very simple, sweet story.
