When I was younger I remember reading a story about two children (brother and sister) having a dream/adventure with dragons and sheep. They couldnt sleep and the girl counted sheep whilst the boy counted dragons and then they went into the sheep/dragon land. Not making much sense am I?

Does anyone know what book I'm talking about? It's really bugging me that I can't remember the title. It was one of my favourites and I want to know if its still available so I can get it for my DD.

thanks

I dont know the book you mean Stellar but have you tried asking at your library. OR even your local bookshop. Thye amaze me when I go in with this really daft descrition of a book that i've heard about and they can always identify it.
Worth a try huh? Good luck.

This is Ninety Nine Dragons.

"Synopsis
Beth and Ben's father suggested counting sheep jumping over a gate, to help them go to sleep. But Ben thought dragons would be much more interesting than ordinary old sheep, so he sent them jumping over the gate instead. "
