Review :
"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." --Kirkus Reviews on The Dragonsitter "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." --Publishers Weekly on The Dragonsitter "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." --School Library Journal on The Dragonsitter
