You might think that a dog or a cat is the perfect pet, but you would be wrong. The perfect pet is a dragon. Read this funny book about how to find, train, and have fun with a dragon that’s just right for you!

Great art, fun story about a dragon as a pet. Good with monsters, fairy tales, medieval storytimes.

I incorporated some breathing techniques into this read aloud. Lion breath and dragon breath. Kids had fun doing those as I read the story.

An adorable dragon for a pet? Who wouldn't love that? The young boy in this story is keen not to have just any old pet, but a fire-breathing, not-big dragon as a pet and friend. He imagines how he would take care of the dragon, detailing the advantages of having a fire-breathing, flying dragon for a pet.
The illustrations are adorable. Even if I didn't think having a dragon as a pet would be awesome, the cute face of our red, fire-breathing friend, loving gazing out of the cover would be enough for me to snatch him home! There are recurring themes of bluebirds and Knight Boy also in the illustrations throughout the book, which adds to the visuals' cohesion.

A cute little story about a boy and how he would interact with the pet dragon he has always wanted. From feeding him to having the dragon help with errands, things could not be better for the protagonist of the story. Bullies would be a thing of the past and show-and-tell would be brilliant as well. There's nothing that life with a dragon could limit, at least in this story. Neo listened and enjoyed the story so much, eager to hear about others might like to have a dragon. He, too, would surely love to have one, though we do not have the room.

Sometimes you just want an exotic pet. In this case our kid gets a dragon. But it has to be the prefect dragon, one that breaths first. This book takes the reader through how one might spend their time with their dragon. It was a fun and color reader sure to entertain children for years to come.
