Discover the whimsical journey of a boy determined to prove that a dragon is the best companion.

From the publisher

This sweet and hilarious story is perfect for the youngster whose heart is set on a new pet. A dragon might not be the most conventional pet, but this boy is determined. He argues his case to Mom and Dad with wit and charm, detailing the many benefits of dragon ownership: A dragon is the perfect bully deterrent! The perfect answer to snow-shoveling in the winter! The perfect trick-or-treating accessory! The perfect portable summer campfire! He swears he’ll take really good care of it, too. He’ll feed it, walk it, bathe it, take it to the doctor, and even teach it to fly. Clever and wry text paired with bright and comedic illustrations will make Me and My Dragon a storytime favorite for kids and adults alike.
