About the Book



The mother of a little boy won't let him have a dog, but she says he can have a dragon for a pet--if he can find one. Wry, stylish illustrations with an appealing retro look perfectly complement the spare, witty text. Full color.



Book Synopsis



A little boy's mother won't let him have a dog. Dogs are too messy and too loud. But she says he can have a dragon for a pet - if he can find one. Enter the coolest - but naughtiest - pet ever. The dragon is messier and louder than any dog. And he will not leave. How will the boy ever get a dog now?
