Goodreads Summary:
"Crusty dragon Miss Drake has a new pet human, precocious Winnie. Oddly enough, Winnie seems to think Miss Drake is her pet—a ridiculous notion!
Unknown to most of its inhabitants, the City by the Bay is home to many mysterious and fantastic creatures, hidden beneath the parks, among the clouds, and even in plain sight. And Winnie wants to draw every new creature she encounters: the good, the bad, and the ugly. But Winnie’s sketchbook is not what it seems. Somehow, her sketchlings have been set loose on the city streets! It will take Winnie and Miss Drake’s combined efforts to put an end to the mayhem . . . before it’s too late."
My Review:
I love reading books that my younger kids would like. This is one of those books. It is fun, full of fantasy and adventure and highly entertaining. It's written from the view of the dragon, one who feels she is above being someone's pet. Winnie, her young new owner, believes the dragon has been willed to her. The book takes us on an adventure that even boys will enjoy. This is a fun, quick read, a book for the whole family!

I think I'll get this one for my grandkids. Sounds right up their alley, as they love dragons.
