Description
"Silly and bright with slapstick humor.... this book's subject matter has perennial--and engaging--interest."--School Library Journal Be careful what you wish for--again! This follow-up to You Don't Want a Unicorn! by New York Times bestselling author Ame Dyckman and beloved illustrator Liz Climo points out the hilarious mishaps that come with adopting a dragon. Our protagonist wishes (much to the narrator's continued chagrin) for a pet dragon. Though initially thrilled, the kid quickly discovers that dragons aren't quite as awesome as they originally thought. From the scooting to the digging to the fire-breathing, our Kid is dismayed that they still haven't found their perfect pet. Little do they know, that pet might just be right around the corner . . . Don't miss some of these favorite Ame Dyckman titles: Wolfie the Bunny

"Imaginative fun throughout."--Booklist
Praise for You Don't Want a Unicorn! "Climo's rainbow-bright illustrations take Dyckman's silly premise to a whole new level of absurdity.... This is a crowd-pleaser, complete with cupcake poops and rainbow burps, and...a welcoming and unobtrusive gender-nonconforming vibe."--Horn Book
"The tone of the wry, bemused narrator is perfect...and the target audience will likely be eager for a repeat listen."
