Izzie is anxious to see the dragon that shows up one day on their family farm. But Dad warns her that it is much too dangerous. The pesky dragon has caused chaos on the farm with its fiery breath that hard-boils the eggs, burns the wheat fields, and turns the cows' milk to yogurt. Finally, Dad decides to call REMOVE-A-DRAGON! This is a quirky story with a very happy ending.

our new favorite!,
By stef (WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Pesky Dragon (Hardcover)
great illustrations, great story. as soon as we read it the first time - read it again mom. and again. and again! there's a dragon on the farm - you can hear its roar. all the animals are scared. all the adults are annoyed. and izzie is - secretly pleased. And of course, it turns out 'that pesky dragon' is not a scary dragon, but a small, scared, dragon trapped in the well. "Ive been crying for help for days!" A great story about a brave girl who faces her fears and finds a friend.

Kristi's Book Nook,
By Kristi Bernard (Overland Park, KS) - See all my reviews
This review is from: That Pesky Dragon (Hardcover)
On Izzie's Dad's farm there were some goats, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, cats and a dragon. It roared fiercely and that's how they all knew it was a dragon. They didn't dare look at it because it was too dangerous. Every morning the roar of the dragon would awaken Izzie.
The farmer did not like this dragon's roar. It made the eggs the chickens laid rock hard, and the cows milk had become yogurt. Izzie wanted to see the dragon, she thought it seemed sad. The next morning the farm was awakened by the dragon. The air smelled of toast thought Izzie, but it was the farmers prize wheat that was burning. The farmer and his wife were to afraid to ask the dragon to leave, so they decided to call Remove-A-Dragon. Izzie pleaded that the dragon must be hurt and needs some help. She ran towards the dragon in spite of the farmers warning. You will have to read the story to see if Izzie is eaten by the dragon or if she saves the dragon.
