‘Dear Uncle Morton. You’d better get on a plane right now and come back here. Your dragon has eaten Jemima.’ It had sounded so easy: Edward was going to look after Uncle Morton’s unusual pet for a week while he went on holiday. But soon the fridge is empty, the curtains are blazing, and the postman is fleeing down the garden path.

At the beginning of the story where they could not find the key it was found under a eagle talon and how could they find it when mum forgot about it

I liked it because the mum tried to phone everyone but nobody wanted to take the dragon and was just sitting there not knowing what else to do.

This was funny but I found the emails a bit strange

This funny little book is ideal for children who like witty, amusing short stories. This book is about a young boy babysitting his Uncle's dragon while he goes on holiday. The chaos this dragon causes is highly amusing whilst at the same time looking incredibly grumpy and unimpressed. The relationship is really sweet between the Uncle and the Nephew. A lovely quick read book which would be ideal for any reader. I now want my very own dragon for my school library, especially now I know what they really love to eat to keep them happy!!!

Morton pretend to not send email

I liked it because it was really funny but it was quite short and didn’t have a lot of text

This is a hilarious book about looking after a dragon while the uncle is away on holiday. It is a fictional story told through emails. My favourite character is Edward Smith-Pickle as he is really calm throughout. The mother gets really cross understandably as the dragon creates a lot of mess and is extremely destructive but this book is thoroughly entertaining. I would recommended it to all children that love funny and entertaining stories.

My favorite character is Edward pickle because he forgot that his uncle gave him instruction on the couch and found out that the chocolate helps with the dragon ziggy.

I will absolutely recommend this book to my friends because it’s hilarious.

This was written in messages not a story. It was all about someone trying to babysit a dragon. It is quite funny because he burns lots of things and does a poo on the carpet!

07 Sep 2021

I loved it because the dragon chased away the naughty cat and loved chocolate. I really liked it because the dragon was kind of cute

I liked the Dragon best because he breathed fire to make a hole in the fridge!

27 Jul 2021

The book is really nice because the dragon was not behaving good initially but then in the end, it started behaving good. I thought Uncle Morton would never give a message to his nephew, but he did. My favourite character is the dragon. I would recommend this book to someone because it is really funny and interesting.

I thought the story was interesting. I never knew you could have a dragonsitter. My favourite person was Ed, because was kind to the dragon and polite to his uncle Morton.

Yes I would recommend it
