A Rainy Dragon Day
by Julia Volk
Age Range: Under_5
The narrator loves a rainy day because it’s the perfect opportunity to curl up in a chair with a favourite book, a cup of cocoa and their long-haired dachshund. But it’s not long before a ring on the doorbell dispels the calm. Chaos soon ensues when Fred the dragon, who likes to drop by for sausages and lots of coffee, is in urgent need of the bathroom! After all, where do dragons go when they need to go?
In this charming and funny picture book by Austrian author and illustrator Julie Völk, translated by Melody Shaw, a quiet rainy day soon turns into a fantastical journey travelling through a storm to the land of dragons and answering that all-important question of, where dragons go when they need to go?
Völk’s atmospheric artwork is what makes this book. The dazzling colour palette with black outline drawings and watercolour is delicately executed over double-page spreads. Along with the pithy text they covey the absurdity of a dragon needing the toilet as well as the magical adventure the protagonist and Fred embark on.
A Rainy Dragon Day is a lovely combination of droll ‘toilet’ references, which young readers will identify with, and an adventure into an enthralling dragon world.
Julie Völk is a celebrated illustrator from Vienna, Austria. In 2018 she was named an IBBY Honored Illustrator.
