Summary

Warren is a seven-year-old boy. Dragon is part stuffed animal, part fierce dragon, and part best friend-depending on what you believe most. And Chewy is the class hamster. So when it's Warren's turn to take Chewy home for the weekend, Warren isn't so sure it's the best idea. Do dragons and hamsters mix? Not so well, it turns out, especially when Warren and Dragon are more interested in making cool stuff with their new friends than taking care of a rodent-until Chewy disappears. Oh no!

Horn Book Review

Seven-year-old Warren's best friend is his stuffed dragon, who talks, demands food, and reassures absent-minded Warren about his fears and anxieties. When Warren's family moves, he and his twin sister compete at making friends (100). At their new school, Warren is chosen to care for the class pet hamster, Chewy (Weekend). Fast-paced dialogue and cartoon-style grayscale illustrations add levity to these entertaining tales.
