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.
