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.
