Added to the library in honor of the birth of Gavin Marshall Condon. Child Magazine: After his mother repeatedly refuses to get him a dog, a little boy asks for a dragon. "If you can find a dragon, you can keep it for a pet," she replies. He does find one, of course, and life with a fire-breathing dragon who roasts wieners in the living room makes a dog seem saintlike in comparison. A happy ending and whimsical 1950s-style illustrations add up to a romp of a tale. (Ages 4 to 6)
