Dragon's quest for a friend continues in this second installment! An unexpected guest at the doorstep ends up leading to a bigger and better surprise than Dragon ever imagined. This one has more of that Dav Pilkey feel - more laughs, more potty humor. Definitely more on the lighter side of things than the first Dragon book, but also slightly sweet and heartwarming.

Dragon adopts a cat that he finds sitting outside his house one day. He and the cat quickly establish a typical cat/owner relationship. That is that the cat rules the household.

Like any Dav Pilkey book, this is a humourous story that young children will enjoy. It's status as an early reader will also appeal to parents looking to stretch their children's reading.

Fun!

Thanks to the @kidlitexchange network for the review copy of this book - all opinions are my own. Dav Pilkey does not disappoint. His new series featuring Dragon is great for early readers. Dragon finds a cat outside and decides to take it in. The issue is Dragon know nothing about taking care of a cat. Young readers will laugh their heads off at the way that Dragon cares for his new fat cat. Pilkey continues his hilariousness in this book just like his other series. This book will be a hit among readers just beginning chapter books. Be sure to check this book out when it is released on September 3, 2019.

I am OVER THE MOON that Dragon books are being brought back under Scholastic's new "Acorn" imprint for readers ages 4-7. These were my favorites growing up and I hated to see them getting overlooked and outdated on the Readers shelves. Welcome back, Dragon!

A cute early chapter book on caring for a new pet. Some of the illustrations of dragon and cat were particularly adorable.

So, this was my all-time favorite episode of the TV show, and the book is also my favorite. Dragon finds a stray cat. And decides to keep it. But Dragon has no idea how to take care of a cat. Hilarity ensues.

A cute early chapter book for early primary students. It has a good dose of humour, cute illustrations and helps you learn how to take care of a pet. I'm ashamed to admit I didn't twig as to why the cat was fat, even after finishing the story! I'll look out for the rest of the series.
