His Majesty's Dragon

”Temeraire did not wake until the sun was slipping below the horizon; Laurence was nodding over his book. Temeraire nudged his cheek with a blunt nose to rouse him, and announced, “I am hungry again.” “

As someone with a newborn child, a novel about a talking newborn dragon is perhaps the perfect story at this moment. The hunger cues, curiosity and exciting moments I have seen in my beautiful daughter I related with in Laurence, besides the talking bit.
Also the wings.
