Horn Book (Wed Jul 06 00:00:00 CDT 2022)

When Billy Bixbee wakes up and finds a dragon in his room, his mother tells him there's no such thing. The neglected dragon grows larger and larger, eventually walking off with the house, and the Bixbee family is forced to admit his existence. Practically a classic in paperback for its neat story line and humorous cartoons of expressively surprised characters, this hardcover edition is welcome indeed.

A story for every kid who wants a pet dragon!

When Billy Bixbee finds a tiny dragon in his bedroom, his mom tells him, “There’s no such thing as a dragon!” This only makes the dragon get bigger. He grows, and grows, and grows, until he’s bigger than Billy’s house—and that’s just the beginning!

A funny, madcap story and playful illustrations by beloved author-illustrator Jack Kent pair in a book that will have children wondering if maybe friendly pet dragons do exist after all!
