Soon the egg breaks open and out comes a very unusual creature. Just as Eddie and Emily are trying to cope with this new arrival, their mother announces that she has a surprise of her own. In their ninth adventure Eddie and Emily get the biggest surprise of their lives!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Amid Edward's pleas and Morton's soothing replies, Parsons intersperses large scenes of domestic chaos, frowning (later smiling) people, and an inscrutable, horse-sized dragon flopped bonelessly on the sofa. Except for the chocolate cure, it's much like trying to care for an oversized cat . . . that, OK, breathes fire." --<i>Kirkus Reviews </i>on <i>The Dragonsitter</i></p><br><br>"Entertaining. . . . Parsons's b&w cartoons, cleverly framed as photos attached to Edward's emails, reveal a house in ruin, with curtains aflame, a gaping hole in the fridge, and neighborhood cats fleeing in terror. The discovery that dragons love chocolate helps set things right, paving the way for future destructive adventures." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> on <i>The Dragonsitter</i><br><br>"Told entirely through emails, this story provides plenty of funny moments, as Eddie manages to sound both upbeat and worried at the same time. . . . Its humorous tone and illustrations will appeal to young readers." --<i>School Library Journal </i>on <i>The Dragonsitter</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Josh Lacey</b> and <b>Garry Parsons</b> are the creators of the Dragonsitter series. </p>
