Dragons can be great friends . . . most of the time.

Dragons always know the best games to play, the perfect way to toast a marshmallow, and how to get that cookie out of a cookie jar undetected. While dragons can be good friends, they sometimes forget how. They can yell, stomp their feet, shoot flames out of their mouths, and not be a very good listener. It can be hard to be friends with a dragon, but with some deep breaths and calming words, you and your dragon can learn how to be best friends forever.

“The text is at once lighthearted and instructive as a reminder of qualities that are important to find in both ourselves and our loved ones . . . . A 'talon-ted' tightrope walk between character education and entertaining whimsy.”
Kirkus Review
