About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to take on independent responsibilities but feels overwhelmed by the 'unseen' variables of a task. It is an ideal pick for the child who worries about doing things 'the right way' and needs a humorous reminder that even when things go sideways, communication and curiosity can save the day. The story follows Eddie, a young boy tasked with caring for his uncle's dragon, Ziggy. When Ziggy stops eating and hides in a closet, Eddie must navigate his anxiety and solve the mystery of the dragon's strange behavior through a series of frantic emails to his uncle. This book explores themes of accountability and problem-solving within a lighthearted, epistolary format. It is perfectly suited for children aged 7 to 10 who are transitioning into independent reading but still appreciate a fast-paced, visual narrative. Parents will love how it models the importance of asking for help when a situation grows beyond one's control.
