On a young princesses tenth birthday, she is given the glorious gift of her very own bedroom.  A grand festival is held to reveal her new tower room.  There's only one slight problem; Elizabeth is afraid of heights, and her bedroom sits in the tallest tower of the castle.

Elsewhere in the castle, Elenora, the junior housekeeper goes about her daily routine of dusting Elizabeth's room.  She however leaves without closing the window and when she returns the next day to dust, she discovers something rather large, and scaly with teeth waiting for her.   She is startled to find a dragon has moved in.  

Panic quickly spreads throughout the castle.  Everyone fears the worst, that Elizabeth has been captured or, even worse, eaten by the dragon.  Not soon after the castle guards leap into action, and soon the Prime Minister and even a knight are summoned to vanquish the dragon. But each attempt ends with the dragon refusing to leave.     

This charming story follows Elizabeth as she cleverly finds a solution to the problem of a dragon taking over her bedroom, while also confronting her fear of heights.  I love the fairytale quality of the story paired with the amusing illustrations of the castle staff scrambling to deal with the dragon.  The dramatic double-page spread of the dragon's scales and teeth really drives home the enormity of their dilemma.   With its short length and entertaining plot, it makes for a delightful read-together experience.
