Helpful Score: 1
I don't know what's best about this book: the awesome retro drawings, the cute storyline, or the fact that my daughter has me read this over and over and I never get sick of it. It's worth it just to see the second-to-last picture (I won't give it away).
A boy wants a dog, but his mom won't let him have one. He finally talks her into getting a dragon, which is OK with her, but the dragon the boy gets is horrible: he stays up late playing music, he doesn't clean up toys, and he eats spaghetti in the bathtub. How the boy finally gets rid of the dragon and gets a dog is very clever.
The illustrations are very '40s-style and the dragon reads magazines and wears sunglasses. You can't be much cooler than that.
