(2) K-3 Illustrated by Randy Cecil. A lonely young girl yearns for a friend--a dragon friend. In a cave under a mountain, a real dragon is dreaming of a girl for a friend. Once the "all-alone" girl's lonely tears make their rhyming way to his cave, the dragon follows them back (reversing the rhyming sequence). Joosse's buoyant verse keeps things light. Cecil's dreamy nighttime palette suits the lullaby mood.
