About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is eager to take on 'big kid' chores but still struggles with following multi-step directions or paying attention to details. It is a gentle, humorous way to discuss why preparation and literacy are important tools for helping others, rather than just chores to be finished. The story follows three well-meaning but illiterate dragons who agree to cat-sit for a wizard. Because they cannot read his instructions, they mistake his simple requests for bizarre tasks, leading to a series of silly mishaps. With the help of the Good Knight, they learn that being a good helper requires more than just a willing heart: it requires the skills to understand what is needed. It is a perfect choice for early readers who are transitioning from picture books to short chapters.

Sensitive Topics
None. The book is secular and lighthearted. The 'peril' is limited to the cats being slightly neglected or grumpy.
