Reach for this book when your child is asking for a pet or beginning to learn about empathy and the responsibilities of caregiving. It is a perfect selection for those moments when you want to model kindness through humor rather than a lecture. The story follows a well meaning dragon who finds a stray cat in the snow and, despite having no idea how to care for a feline, does his best to keep it warm and fed. Through a series of silly mishaps, Dragon learns about the trial and error of pet ownership, including the surprise of discovering his 'fat cat' is actually a mother-to-be. Dav Pilkey's vibrant illustrations and simple text make this an ideal choice for emerging readers (ages 4 to 7). It beautifully balances the comedy of errors with a sincere, heartwarming look at how our families grow in unexpected ways.
