Ok. This book is hysterical in the best way possible. I loved every second! The fun thing about this book is that I didn’t pick it out. My son brought it home from his school on library day. At first I was like, “a terrible dragon? Oh boy!” But then I started reading and I could barely keep a straight face. I mean, this dragon is adorable and seriously terrible!

My son’s favorite part was the burping in church. He laughed so hard and told me to take a picture of that page. The list goes on and on for how terrible this dragon is. There’s even a reward for anyone who can tame the dragon. Many people try and fail.

But then a resourceful little boy writes a story and starts reading it, capturing the attention of the dragon. This goes on for a bit, the dragon getting more and more intrigued.

The dragon learns to be kind and is officially tamed. Of course, everyone is happy!
