Second grader, Warren, has a pet dragon that others see as
stuffed but Warren sees as real and talkative. Since Warren is already taking
care of a pet dragon, he is concerned when his teacher asks him bring home the
class hamster. Adventures ensue as he, his best friend neighbor, his eager
little sister, and a concerned classmate try to take care of Chewy, the
hamster, over the weekend.
This little book is delightful. The story has just the right
level of humor for young readers reading independently and includes an
illustration every three or four pages to help with context clues. The
characters were all nice kids that make normal mistakes and learn from them.
This book had positive lessons on responsibility, team work, friendship, and
courage.
