About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is begging for a pet, or when you want to nurture their natural instinct to care for others. This gentle story follows Dragon, a kindhearted soul who finds a stray cat in the snow and learns the ropes of pet ownership, from feeding to bathroom mishaps. It is a perfect choice for teaching empathy and the quiet rewards of responsibility. While it is full of Dav Pilkey's signature humor, the tone is soft and reassuring. It is ideal for preschool and early elementary children who are beginning to navigate the joys and challenges of looking after someone smaller than themselves. You will love how it validates a child's desire to belong and their capacity for unconditional love.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and safe. It touches on the vulnerability of a stray animal in the cold, but the approach is metaphorical for any creature needing a home. The resolution is joyful and hopeful.
