Synopsis. (Goodreads)

TA-DAH! It's DRAGON JELLY time,
A sizzling scrumptious treat.
It's red. It's wobbly. Best of all,
It's SCARY HOT to eat . . . !

Max is having a MONSTER party. They play all sorts of yucky games then cool down in a fruitbat drool paddling pool! Then it's tea-time, with termite tarts, ear-wig rolls and eyeball birthday cake. But the REAL treat is the red-hot dragon jelly!

Dragon Jelly is monstrously gloopy, gunky fun from the bestselling Claire Freedman and Sue Hendra. - See more at: Bloomsbury

Review: 5 out of 5 stars

The cover of Dragon Jelly is vibrant and exciting; Miss 7 loved the glittery swirls and was quite eager to get started on this book and was so engrossed that she didn’t want it to end.

Dragon Jelly is about Max and his monster party with games, entertainment, scary treats and more, it was a lot of fun looking at the wonderfully detailed illustrations and to see what a great time the monsters were having.

The illustrations by Sue Hendra are amazing and the friendship you can see the monsters sharing was really delightful, the party was a lot of fun, even the scary hot dragon jelly!

Miss 7 was able to read the text easily & we thoroughly enjoyed Claire Freedman’s engaging and creative storytelling.

Thank you to Bloomsbury Australia for providing us with a copy of Dragon Jelly to read and review.
