 Title: The Pet Dragon

Author: Christoph Niemann

Illustrator: Christoph Niemann

Summary: A woman named Lin got a package one day, and inside was a dragon! Lin and her pet dragon played hide and seek, made new friends, played ping pong, told each other stories, and so much more. One day, Lin and her pet dragon were playing soccer, and the dragon accidentally broke a vase. Lin's father said the pet has to stay in a cage. When Lin went to go check on her pet, it was gone from the cage, so she went searching everywhere. Lin spotted a lady by the side of the river trying to cross. Lin offered to help the lady across the river. When they got to the other side, the lady was revealed to be a witch and granted Lin a favor. The witch helped Lin find her dragon by growing into a giant that grew up into the clouds. Lin spotted her pet dragon in the clouds with other dragons. Finally, the dragon flew Lin all the way back home and her father thanked the dragon and promised both of them they could play together again. 

The Pet Dragon was such a unique children's book that I enjoyed reading. On each page, there are Chinese characters in the illustrations, and at the bottom of the page, it translates them into English. I thought this was a great way to introduce young children to different types of languages. I give this story a 5/5, I would love to have this in my library one day.
