This is my favorite Dragon book from Dav Pilkey。 This 5 chapter book written for young readers or immature adults like me， chronicles the events pertaining to Dragon finding and caring for a Fat Cat。 Since he cannot come up with a better name the cat she is named Cat。 There are many funny mishaps as Dragon learns how to care for his new friend who only ever says "MEOW"。 In the end we find out why Cat is fat when she has five babies all named Kitty。 It's a cute story that glorifies kindness， frie This is my favorite Dragon book from Dav Pilkey。 This 5 chapter book written for young readers or immature adults like me， chronicles the events pertaining to Dragon finding and caring for a Fat Cat。 Since he cannot come up with a better name the cat she is named Cat。 There are many funny mishaps as Dragon learns how to care for his new friend who only ever says "MEOW"。 In the end we find out why Cat is fat when she has five babies all named Kitty。 It's a cute story that glorifies kindness， friendship and responsibility。 The book is never preachy it just shows us a slice of the life of a good person （who happens to be a dragon）。 The pictures in this book are fun without being too childish。 It is a wonderful transition from picture book to chapter book for a young reader。 。。。more

This is a cute story in five short chapters: "Meow！"; Life With Cat; Problems; Left Behind; Home Again。Dragon finds a cat sitting in the snow outside his house。 He took her in and named her Cat， although he has no idea how to take care of her。 Cute illustrations with a drawing lesson in the back of the book。 This is a cute story in five short chapters: "Meow！"; Life With Cat; Problems; Left Behind; Home Again。Dragon finds a cat sitting in the snow outside his house。 He took her in and named her Cat， although he has no idea how to take care of her。 Cute illustrations with a drawing lesson in the back of the book。 。。。more

A cute early chapter book for early primary students。 It has a good dose of humour， cute illustrations and helps you learn how to take care of a pet。 I'm ashamed to admit I didn't twig as to why the cat was fat， even after finishing the story！ I'll look out for the rest of the series。 A cute early chapter book for early primary students。 It has a good dose of humour， cute illustrations and helps you learn how to take care of a pet。 I'm ashamed to admit I didn't twig as to why the cat was fat， even after finishing the story！ I'll look out for the rest of the series。 。。。more

Really fun book for kids， but also for adults who have known and loved cats， a species with whom Pilkey is clearly familiar。

Early ReaderDav Pilkey of the famed "Captain Underpants" series has another early reader series about a Dragon。 This is book number 2 in the Dragon series that follows Dragon and his pet cat as they go on an adventure。 The book is a great introduction for the age group of 5-7 that is just learning to read。 It has short simple sentences full of sight words。 The illustrations are reminiscent of Pilkey's other works， and while the character is not as complex as Captain Underpants， you still can't h Early ReaderDav Pilkey of the famed "Captain Underpants" series has another early reader series about a Dragon。 This is book number 2 in the Dragon series that follows Dragon and his pet cat as they go on an adventure。 The book is a great introduction for the age group of 5-7 that is just learning to read。 It has short simple sentences full of sight words。 The illustrations are reminiscent of Pilkey's other works， and while the character is not as complex as Captain Underpants， you still can't help laughing at the shenanigans Dragon gets up to in these books。 。。。more

Dragon's quest for a friend continues in this second installment！ An unexpected guest at the doorstep ends up leading to a bigger and better surprise than Dragon ever imagined。 This one has more of that Dav Pilkey feel - more laughs， more potty humor。 Definitely more on the lighter side of things than the first Dragon book， but also slightly sweet and heartwarming。 Dragon's quest for a friend continues in this second installment！ An unexpected guest at the doorstep ends up leading to a bigger and better surprise than Dragon ever imagined。 This one has more of that Dav Pilkey feel - more laughs， more potty humor。 Definitely more on the lighter side of things than the first Dragon book， but also slightly sweet and heartwarming。 。。。more

Super freakin' cute。 Dragon books are perfect for those who want to read other Pilkey books but are a little too young。 Super freakin' cute。 Dragon books are perfect for those who want to read other Pilkey books but are a little too young。 。。。more

I am OVER THE MOON that Dragon books are being brought back under Scholastic's new "Acorn" imprint for readers ages 4-7。 These were my favorites growing up and I hated to see them getting overlooked and outdated on the Readers shelves。 Welcome back， Dragon！ I am OVER THE MOON that Dragon books are being brought back under Scholastic's new "Acorn" imprint for readers ages 4-7。 These were my favorites growing up and I hated to see them getting overlooked and outdated on the Readers shelves。 Welcome back， Dragon！ 。。。more

{My thoughts} – I really enjoyed this book。 I have not read this series previously to reviewing it recently for Scholastic。Dragon is a fun character that hears a cat meowing outside his door。 He tries to get it to come in time and time again but it just sits there。 Eventually he picks it up and takes it in his house。 He then has other issues， cause he has no idea how to care for a cat。The words on the pages are written in an east to understand manner。 The illustrations help the child to better u {My thoughts} – I really enjoyed this book。 I have not read this series previously to reviewing it recently for Scholastic。Dragon is a fun character that hears a cat meowing outside his door。 He tries to get it to come in time and time again but it just sits there。 Eventually he picks it up and takes it in his house。 He then has other issues， cause he has no idea how to care for a cat。The words on the pages are written in an east to understand manner。 The illustrations help the child to better understand the story。 I think this is a great book to pick up for beginner readers。 It is also a wonderful book to help show children how hard it can be to be a first time pet owner。I look forward to reviewing more books in this series in the near future！ 。。。more

First sentence: One snowy day in January， Dragon heard a funny noise。 "Meow！" "That sounds like a cat，" said Dragon。Premise/plot: Dragon makes a new friend in this early chapter book by Dav Pilkey。 That friend is， you guessed it， a cat， a FAT， GRAY CAT。 There are five chapters in this one: "Meow！" Life With Cat Problems Left Behind Home AgainIn the first chapter， Dragon meets a fat， gray cat and invites him inside。In the second chapter， Dragon takes the cat inside and names him， "Cat。" Dragon p First sentence: One snowy day in January， Dragon heard a funny noise。 "Meow！" "That sounds like a cat，" said Dragon。Premise/plot: Dragon makes a new friend in this early chapter book by Dav Pilkey。 That friend is， you guessed it， a cat， a FAT， GRAY CAT。 There are five chapters in this one: "Meow！" Life With Cat Problems Left Behind Home AgainIn the first chapter， Dragon meets a fat， gray cat and invites him inside。In the second chapter， Dragon takes the cat inside and names him， "Cat。" Dragon prepares a special bed for his new friend/pet。 （The Cat takes Dragon's bed。）In the third chapter， readers learn just how much Dragon does NOT know about owning a cat。（Dragon does NOT know that his cat needs a litter box， for example。） He eventually finds himself at a pet store。In the fourth chapter， Dragon realizes that he left Cat behind at the pet store。 He must find and "rescue" Cat。 When he finds Cat， he finds a big surprise！ The reason why Cat was so FAT。。。In the fifth chapter， Dragon returns home with Cat and her kittens。 He starts preparing beds for all the little ones--he's named each one KITTY。 Will Cat and kittens sleep in their beds？！ Or will they still have ownership of Dragon's big bed？！My thoughts: I loved， loved， loved， loved， CRAZY-LOVED this one。 I enjoyed the writing very much。 It was funny。 Dragon liked living with Cat， and Cat liked living with Dragon。 But Dragon did not know how to take care of Cat。 He did not know how to train Cat。 That was a problem。 Dragon did not know what to feed Cat。 That was a big problem。 And Dragon did not know what to do about all the yellow puddles Cat made。 That was a smelly problem。 I think this one will hold great appeal for young readers。 I first read and reviewed this one in 2009。 It has been newly republished this year。 。。。more

Early readers are going to love this book and so are teachers。 It’s a great story that can be enjoyed， but it can also be used to teach comprehension strategies。 #friendship， #pet-care

This was SO CUTE！！！ Keeping for myself because it was adorable and a quick read。 I love the drawn in jokes that a kid might not catch， but the adult reading to the kid would see and laugh at。 So good！ 5， I’m greedy and keeping it， stars！
