Drac and the gremlin Book

This story examines the world of children's play.

The words explain the fantasy world the children are inhabiting - subduing the Gremlin of the Groaning Grotto (her little brother) with her ultra-laser beam (a wrapping-paper covered paper-towel roll), before attempting a rescue of the White Wizard (a butterfly) from General Min and her Hissing Horde (the cat Minnie and her kittens) (I won't give away the ending...) The illustrations show what's physically occuring in the backyard.

After nearly 5 years of water restrictions running through the sprinkler in the backyard reminds me of my childhood - and a time when backyards had green lawns not the brown and crispy reminants X-man gets to crawl around in now. Ahhh... the good old (or is that olde?) days... I won't even mention the ban on toilet rolls in children's craft activites because of 'hygiene' reasons...
