I like the meat one because he wants to eat the dragon and not help.
Mademoiselle Fenella Bouncy-castle 09.08.2023
It's one of my favourite books because it's all about a dragon living inside a house which is weird because it could set fire to the whole house
Princess Bijou Mouse 26.07.2023

I liked it it was quite funny
Viscount Dragon Bottlenose 23.08.2021
Hilarious! Because the dragon found the boy and the boy kept the dragon.
Count Catapult Pendragon 09.08.2021
I liked the dragon the most. I rated it 5 stars because the author illustrator must have put lots of time and effort into it and it reads really well.
Inspector Octopus Unicycle 05.08.2021
I like the dragon. I like the letters you can take in and out of the page.
Countess Bubbles Pudding-Basin 27.07.2021
I loved the letters that Alex wrote. Alex found a friendly dragon and he wanted to keep him as a pet, but he couldn’t. The dragon was big and couldn’t fit in his house. Alex wrote letters to other people to help him with his dragon. Sadly, the dragon left the house to live with his family. Alex missed him and never forgot him. I recommend this book to everyone because it’s a fun read.

Dragon and a boy become friends- the grown ups are worried but in the end they are friends and write to each other
